Seasonal variations in accumulated particulate matter on leaves of four major tree species in Korea

open access: yesForest Science and Technology, 2022
Tree planting is a countermeasure used to mitigate the effects of the high concentrations of atmospheric particulate matter (PM), because trees have a strong ability to adsorb PM.

Diurnal and Seasonal Variations of Particulate Matter Concentrations in the Urban Forests of Saetgang Ecological Park in Seoul, Korea

open access: yesLand, 2021
Urban forests provide various ecosystem services. Although the function of reducing particulate matter (PM) in the city is known, research into the reduction of PM according to the type and structure of various forests is still needed. It is essential to

Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) as biodiversity indicators for assessing urban forest habitats

open access: yesActa Silvae et Ligni, 2022
Urban and peri-urban forests are important habitats for maintaining biodiversity in cities. In this paper, we report a method for using hoverflies as biodiversity indicators in urban forest habitats.

Relationship between Leaf Traits and PM-Capturing Capacity of Major Urban-Greening Species

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2022
High concentrations of airborne particulate matter (PM) in urban areas are of great concern to human health. Urban greening has been shown to be an effective and eco-friendly way to alleviate particle pollution, and attention to its role in mitigating ...

Relating macrofungal diversity and forest characteristics in boreal forests in China: Conservation effects, inter‐forest‐type variations, and association decoupling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Question How conservation and forest type affect macrofungal compositional diversity is not well understood. Even less is known about macrofungal associations with plants, soils, and geoclimatic conditions.

STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS AND THEIR DERIVED SATISFACTION OF URBAN FORESTS IN THE MOST INDUSTRIALISED REGION OF POLAND

open access: yesEconomics and Environment, 2022
In the face of growing urbanised areas, the presence of forests and their appropriate shaping is a key challenge for contemporary urban planning. The importance of forests is largely identified with natural, economic and social functions in non-urban ...

Decoupling forest characteristics and background conditions to explain urban-rural variations of multiple microclimate regulation from urban trees [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Background Rapid urbanization in semi-arid regions necessitates greater cooling, humidifying, and shading services from urban trees, but maximizing these services requires an exact understanding of their association with forest characteristics and ...
