Some people have asked me what evidence there is to support the claim by CO2 Tropical Trees that the average tropical tree will sequester 22.6 kg or 50 lbs of carbon per year. First off, let me stress that this is affected by location, soil type, rainfall and species. Having said that, most tropical trees located within 15 degrees northern and southern latitude of the equator do indeed sequester significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, something that is supported by numerous studies and ongoing research. In this article I will offer some calculations in support of the efficiency of tropical plantation trees as a method of carbon sequestration. I will base my calculations on industry standard hectares (an area measuring 100 meters by 100 meters, or 2.47 acres) with 1,250 trees planted per hectare, later culled back to 600 trees per hectare.
In an article entitled Carbon sequestration in tropical agroforestry systems by Alain Albrecht and Serigne T. Kandji, both of the Institut de Recherche pour le D?©veloppement, they found that the carbon sequestration potential of tropical agroforestry systems produced a median sequestration value of 95 metric tons (104 US tons) per hectare per year. Taking into account the variables of location, soil type, rainfall and species it can be as high as 228 metric tons (251 US tons) per hectare.

The city of Canterbury in Kent is home to an enviable mix of countryside, urban landscapes and seaside vistas. Boasting a fascinating history, the city is bursting full of architectural gems, notable buildings and a rich heritage. Situated in the affluent South-East and within an easily commutable distance to London, the city is popular with families and professionals alike. With a high speed rail link to London St Pancras via Ashford International recently commencing work, Canterbury will be just an hour away from the capital, negating the need to travel on via the M25 orbital when commuting to work. The city is famed for its cultural offerings, with the Marlowe Theatre drawing visitors from across the county. In addition, plays are frequently performed at the Cathedral and St Augustines Abbey, the former being a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Commercial Real Estate Investing
Any investment involves the commitment of funds to investment alternative with an aim to generate income. Commercial real estate investment in India is involved in generating income through rental, lease or capital appreciation. Real estate refers to immovable property, such as land, and everything else that is permanently attached to it, such as buildings. When a person acquires a real estate property, s/he also acquires a set of rights, including possession, control and transfer rights.
Understanding commercial real estate investment is crucial because it usually involves a substantial investment and a long-term one. Moreover, the commercial real estate market can be unpredictable, as there might be lack of buyers at one place and there may be pool of buyers at another place. Investors have many alternatives of investment in commercial real estate.
One can opt for real estate investment with an aim to rent the property. The owner earns a continuous stream of rent, but is responsible for paying the mortgage, taxes and any costs associated with maintaining the property.
