Abstract:In the last few years, urban trees have emerged as an effective nature‐based solution to mitigate increasing air pollutant levels due to urbanization and industrialization. This study aims to assess the synergistic effect of urban trees on improving air quality by combining real‐time PM2.5 monitoring with the i‐Tree Eco model. The monitoring was conducted during rush hours with high traffic volume and during non‐rush hours, in both the tree alley and a non‐tree road section within the industrial areas of the n… Show more
