Potential of aquatic fern as carbon sequestration agent to reduce carbon emission in urban ecosystem as an effort to nurture Islamic environmental ethics

The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide emissions markedly in the twentieth century has contributed many negative impacts towards the global conditions. Efforts in reducing carbon dioxide emissions to stabilize atmospheric carbon emission levels have become one of the major concerns globally....
