Abstract:
Purpose: Globally, increase in average mean temperature of the earth has been a hindrance to humanhealth development, agricultural productivity including environmental sustainability. The situation is
exacerbated by continual/increase in gas fl aring, mismanagement of land that releases nitrous oxide
(N2O) including ecological-disturbances and imbalance. To reduce the impact of greenhouse gas
emission, especially in low-income regions, then using a bio-approach becomes imperative.
Research Method: The work adopted a theoretical approach (data mining), x-raying/amplifying the
important role trees plays in our environment towards reducing greenhouse gas emission.
Findings: Trees has been found/confi rmed to be able to capture and lock carbon in the form of CO2 in
their biomass, thereby helping in reducing the amount of CO2 content in the atmosphere. Findings of
this study revealed that trees act as a clean mechanism that can be used, and has been able to reduce
CO2 content out of the atmosphere. Several reviewed research fi ndings indicated a signifi cant (p˂0.05)
increase in carbon sequestration potential of various tree species.
Research Limitations: Field verifi cation for data obtained through data mining was only verifi ed
through literature search.
Originality/value: The outcome of the study presented a view that trees can statistically act as a
clean biological mechanism approach towards environmental, agricultural including human health
sustainability in the face of climate change.
