Campsites can be a pollution source, mainly due to the energy consumption. In addition, the green areas, thanks to the direct CO sequestration and the shading, indirectly prevent the CO emissions related to energy consumption. The methodology presented in this paper allowed assessing the annual CO emissions directly related to the campsite management and the consequent environmental impact in campsite clusters in Tuscany. The software i-Tree Canopy was exploited, enabling to evaluate in terms of "canopy" the tonnes of CO sequestered by the vegetation within each campsite. Energy and water consumptions from 2012 to 2015 were assessed for each campsite. As far as the distribution of sequestered CO is concerned, the campsites ranking was in accordance to their size. According to the indicator "T-Tree" or canopy cover, a larger area of the canopy cover allows using less outdoor areas covered by trees for the sequestration of the remaining amount of pollutants. The analysis shows that the considered campsites, that are located in a highly naturalistic Park, present significant positive aspects both in terms of CO emission reductions and of energy efficiency. However, significant margins of improvement are also possible and they were analysed in the paper.
露营地可能成为污染源，主要是因为其能源消耗。此外，得益于直接的 CO 吸收和遮荫，绿色区域还可以间接防止与能源消耗相关的 CO 排放。本文提出的方法允许评估与露营地管理直接相关的年度 CO 排放量以及托斯卡纳露营地集群的相应环境影响。利用了 i-Tree Canopy 软件，可根据每个露营地的“树冠”评估植被吸收的 CO 量（吨）。评估了每个露营地 2012 年至 2015 年的能源和用水量。就 CO 吸收的分布而言，根据其大小对露营地进行了排名。根据“T-Tree”或树冠覆盖率指标，较大的树冠覆盖率可以减少用于吸收剩余污染物的树木覆盖的户外区域面积。分析表明，在所考虑的位于高度自然化公园的露营地，在 CO 减排和能源效率方面都具有显著的积极方面。然而，也有可能进一步改进，本文对此进行了分析。
