Selection of plant species for particulate matter removal in urban environments by considering multiple ecosystem (dis)services and environmental suitability University of Antwerp
To select plant species for particulate matter (PM) removal from urban environments, it is important to consider the plant species' ecosystem (dis)services and environmental suitability in addition to their effectiveness in PM removal. In this study, 61 plant species were ranked for PM removal using three separate models: (i) leaf traits, (ii) leaf saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM), and (iii) ecosystem services and disservices. ...
