Among the ecosystem services provided by urban forests, the air quality amelioration is
particularly relevant. The high level of air pollution in modern cities and the indirect …

The green infrastructure (GI) is identified as a passive exposure control measure of air
pollution. This work examines particulate matter (PM) reduction by a roadside hedge and its …

This study investigated influences of leaf traits on particulate matter (PM) wash-off and (re)
capture (ie, net removal) over time. Leaf samples were taken before and after three rainfall …

To fully understand the characteristics of particulate matter (PM) retained on plant leaves
(PMR) and the effect of vegetation on haze on a large spatial scale, we investigated needle …

This study investigated the effectiveness of vegetation barriers (VBs) planted along
roadsides in a highly urbanized tropical Asian city-state to mitigate pedestrians' exposure to …

Aero submicron particles (d< 1 μm) have attracted widely attention due to their difficulty in
removal from the air and serious threat to human health. Leaves are considered as …

Landscape metrics have been developed to help us make sense of the inherent complexity
of real landscapes. Simplifying that complexity through quantification of various aspects of …

The study investigated inter-species variation in particulate matter (PM) accumulation, wash-
off, and retention on green wall plants, with a focus on leaf characteristics. Ten broadleaf …

We used fresh leaves of Sophora japonica L. variety 'Qingyun 1'(A0) and 10 superior clones
of the same species (A1–A10) to explore leaf morphological characteristics and total particle …

Clay is a material widely used in environmental geotechnics. Quantification of clay
microstructure properties using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images is intuitively the …
