Haven’t read the full study but I’m curious to see how much diversity is factored in. In a lot of cities you see monocultures of the same “signature” tree — which often leads to disease. My instinct would be to focus on mixing things up, and making sure there’s a wide diversity of trees; not just overall, but co-planting so there’s trees mixed with shrubs, grasses, wildflowers, etc. Mimicking the multiple vertical layers of a forest also maximizes photosynthesis so you get more carbon storage per meter.
