“…Pb emission and also Zn and Ni could be found in petrol and motor oil; therefore, motor vehicles could be an important source of these contaminants. Currently, it is likely that urbanization and high traffic are the main reasons for high concentrations of these metals [6,35]. It has been observed that vegetation intercepts the aerosol and that the concentrations of elements are high in samples of plants from industrial areas.…”

“…The rapid and significant development of industry and urban agglomerations in the last century caused significant changes in the natural environment and a modified biogeochemical cycle of trace elements in the biosphere. Trees have been used as bioindicators, as their physiological processes and growth are affected by environmental factors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Over the years, dendrochronological monitoring has been successfully used to monitor the development of different types of industrial production.…”

“…Based on the elemental and isotopic composition of plant tissue, it is possible to analyze the cumulative impact of different types of environmental pressures, including air contaminants emitted from different sources, as well as soil and water contamination, e.g., [4][5][6][7][8][11][12][13][14][15]. Most heavy metals are emitted from various industrial activities (e.g., refining of metals, waste burning, burning of coal and wood, burning of coal and oil, mining, metal manufacturing, metal smelting, waste banning, and cement production), private households, households, and motor vehicles.…”

The current study explores for the first time the contrasts and similarities between the elemental (Na, Mg, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb) composition of pines that grow in a polluted industrialized area, located close to a steelworks, and that of pines growing in a comparative site, far from industry. Radial trace element profiles were determined by LA-ICPMS. The results are compared with the rainfall load at the monitoring station in Katowice, the nearest one to sampling sites, over the years 1999–2012, received from the Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection (GIO). The results show that in annual tree rings, there is no direct linear correlation between rainfall load and concentration of the studied elements in wood of the annual rings. The element concentrations in trees may reflect the sum of different factors that impact the ecosystem, including pollution from large sources and local point sources, immission, load of the rainfall level, and also specific plant physiology processes.

The global warming phenomenon caused by greenhouse gas emission leads to the deterioration of the ecological environment. In urban spaces, the selection of garden tree species with high carbon sequestration rates can effectively contribute to carbon neutrality. In this study, we measured the height, diameter at breast height, and crown width of 643 ancient trees around the West Lake Scenic Spot, Hangzhou, China, and recorded their species and ages. By the biomass expansion factor method, the long-term carbon sequestration of the trees was calculated, and the corresponding statistical analysis indicated the following findings: (1) The maximum carbon sequestration of ancient trees varies with the species; the simple rational function has the best fit for the relationship between mean annual carbon sequestration and age. (2) For the five most common species in the Hangzhou area, the total individual amount of carbon sequestration per tree species can be ranked from high to low as follows: Celtis julianae, Cinnamomum camphora, Castanopsis sclerophylla, Liquidambar formosana, and Ginkgo biloba (tree age < 260 years). The ranking for trees aged above 260 years is as follows: Celtis julianae, Cinnamomum camphora, Liquidambar formosana, Castanopsis sclerophylla, and Ginkgo biloba. (3) The transient and mean annual carbon sequestration rate decreases as tree age increases; for most of the ancient trees in this research, the main growing period is 0–300 years. (4) Castanopsis sclerophylla, Liquidambar Formosana, and Osmanthus fragrans are recommended for urban landscape greening as they provide continuous long-term carbon sequestration and special landscape features.
