Forest cover in cities creates differentiated microclimates at the local level and helps regulate the global carbon cycle. This research evaluated the potential for carbon storage in aerial biomass in scattered trees, fences and hedgerows, as well as the dynamics of shadow projection and its interference in hotosynthetically active radiation (PAR) caused by the canopy. In an area of 6.1 hectares(ha) there is a total occupation of 0.65 ha of the forest cover which interferes with the shadow projection in 1.5 ha, the maximum shade expansion occurs from 6:00 to 9:00 and from 15:00 to 18:00 while at 12:00 it has the maximum contraction. More than 88% of the projected area receives 20% less RAFA, which does not limit the physiological development of crops. Live hedges store 4.31 (± 0.01), scattered trees 29.3 (± 3.62) and live fences 61.4 (± 0.19) Mg C ha-1. Multi-layer forest cover increases carbon storage potential and shadow projection. Access to regulatory services such as the microclimate is limited to areas under canopy coverage, while restricting the global mitigation of global climate change.
