Variation in Tree Species Ability to Capture and Retain Airborne Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
Human health risks caused by PM2. 5 raise awareness to the role of trees as bio-filters of
urban air pollution, but not all species are equally capable of filtering the air. The objectives …

Influences of evergreen gymnosperm and deciduous angiosperm tree species on the functioning of temperate and boreal forests
It has been recognized for a long time that the overstorey composition of a forest partly
determines its biological and physical–chemical functioning. Here, we review evidence of …
