Selection of native Atlantic Forest species for urban greening under air pollution stress

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) is widely used to identify pollution‐tolerant species for afforestation; however, it was not designed to account for traits such as pollutant accumulation or biomass storage, which are also relevant for evaluating environmental resilience.
