Climate change due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions since the Industrial Revolution is a major environmental problem facing the world. Urban trees play an important role as a carbon sink to mitigate climate change by absorbing atmospheric carbon during the growth process. Carbon-neutral programs around the world, including the IPCC guidelines, also deal with tree planting as one of the major greenhouse gas reduction activities. In order to develop policies related to the creation and management of carbon uptake in cities where carbon emissions are dominant, a source coefficient that can evaluate the carbon storage and uptake of urban trees is required. However, studies on the carbon reduction effect of urban trees compared to forest trees are still rare. Although the IPCC guidelines present the US research results as the default carbon uptake coefficient for urban trees, it may cause considerable errors to apply the coefficients from countries with different growth environments. Therefore, this study identified the carbon uptake coefficients of cities and forest trees of major countries and made a comparative analysis of them. As a result, the carbon uptake of urban trees in Korea was somewhat higher than that of forest trees, even with the same species and sizes, and tended to be less than that of urban trees in the United States. This difference was more noticeable as the stem diameter increased. The results of this study can contribute to the international sharing of insufficient information on carbon uptake coefficients of urban trees and their importance.
