Summary In this study we tried to estimate the CO2 fixation of soil in public green spaces like city parks and revegetation slopes along a road by experiment. There are many studies on forest soil. However, there are few studies on soil in public green spaces. We made experimental grass plots in 2011 to investigate continuously. Then, we had analyzed the amount of carbon in the soil for two years.
