Abstract:The adsorption of particulate matter (PM) by the leaves of urban plants can effectively reduce the particulate matter concentration in the atmosphere. The use of climbing plants to abate particulate matter is an important means of urban greening in China, which is rich in climbing plant species. In this study, three evergreen climbing plants were selected to assess their ability to adsorb particulate matter and determine their physiological responses to particulate pollution. PM deposition was determined gravi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
