THIS IS OKAY $460/million per year Based on the field data of 10 USA cities and a national urban tree cover data, it is estimated that urban trees in the coterminous USA currently store 700 million tones of carbon ($14,300 million value) with a gross carbon sequestration rate of 22.8 million tC/year ($460/million per year) (Nowak et al. 2002). $2.4 Trillion Based on the field data of 10 USA cities and a national urban tree cover data, it is estimated that urban trees in the coterminous USA currently store 700 million tones of carbon ($14,300 million value) with a gross carbon sequestration rate of 22.8 million tC/year ($460/million per year) (Nowak et al. 2002). $1.37 - $3.09 A study on the value of street and park trees in five US cities found that for every dollar invested in urban tree management resulted in benefits valued between $1.37 to $3.09 annually (McPherson, et al. 2005).
