Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChF) signal analysis has become a widely used and rapid, non-
invasive technique to study the photosynthetic process under stress conditions. It monitors …

The present study evaluated the air pollution tolerance index (APTI), anticipated
performance index (API), enrichment factor (EF), pollution load index (PLI), bioaccumulation …

Magnetic biomonitoring methodologies were applied at Villa Farnesina, Rome, a
masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, with loggias frescoed by renowned artists such as …

Cities are nowadays facing compelling environmental and climatic challenges that threaten

Dynamic particulate matter (PM) behavior on leaves depends on rainfall events, leaf
structural and physical properties, and individual tree crowns in urban forests. To address …

Apparently, plant leaf surface particulate matter (PM) can be effectively removed by rainfall,
leaving space on the leaf surface to adsorb and retain PM again. At present, most of the …
