Abstract: An assessment of carbon sequestration potentials of some common urban tropical tree species in Chiang Mai Municipality was carried out through biomass estimation, and carbon conversion. The objectives of this research were to measure carbon sequestrated by urban tropical tree species in Chiang Mai Municipality, to produce a carbon sequestration map for urban tropical tree species in Chiang Mai Municipality, to compare between two methods of carbon sequestration (i.e. exponential and Ogawa and Saito equations). To calculate the Carbon dioxide equivalent, the assessment was based on an inventory of woody stems at ≥ 5cm in DBH, measured at 1.3 m above the ground level. The above ground biomass was calculated by using the two above equations. The results revealed 7,431 urban tropical tree species in Chiang Mai Municipality, and sequestered carbon content of about 0.199 tons/hectare. The study results revealed Ficus religiosa tree species have the highest carbon content about 0.023 tons/hectare, and the least was Plumeria rubria about 0.001 tons/hectare. Mangifera indica was dominant at about 1,400 trees, Delonix regia was the least at about 100 tree species. The results also justified Ogawa and Saito equations were the best for calculating carbon sequestration. The study highlighted the role of carbon sequestration potential for climate change mitigation in Chiang Mai Municipality.
