Estimating the seasonal and spatial variation of urban vegetation's PM2.5 removal capacity
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is one of the most severe factors contributing to urban air pollution, posing significant risks to human health and environmental quality. Urban vegetation, acting as a natural method for pollution mitigation, can effectively reduce harmful air particle concentrations through processes like adsorption and deposition. While much research has quantified urban vegetation's role in PM2.5 removal, the spatial variability and seasonal fluctuations of this process in urban environments remain poorly understood. Furthermore, few studies have quantitatively explored the environmental factors that influence this capability. Using Shanghai as a case study, this research estimates the PM2.5 reduction by urban vegetation in 2022, integrating the i-Tree Eco model with Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification. The results indicate that vegetation plays a significant role in PM2.5 removal, with a total annual removal of 835 tons and an average removal rate of 0.51 g per unit leaf area. The maximum annual air quality improvement reached 21.7%, with an average of 4.09%. The removal flux exhibited a clear "double peak" pattern throughout the year, with peaks occurring in late spring and late summer. Significant spatial variations in PM2.5 removal capacity were observed across different LCZs, ranked as follows: Dense Trees > Open Lowrise > Large Lowrise > Bush/Shrub > Scattered Trees > Others. Notably, Open Lowrise areas demonstrated considerable potential in both removal flux and total removal. The 38–42 mm evapotranspiration range was found to be the most effective for PM2.5 removal. However, when evapotranspiration exceeded 50 mm, removal efficiency showed a clear diminishing marginal effect, closely linked to the regulation of leaf stomatal opening and closing. The findings of this study underscore the importance of vegetation in improving air quality and provide valuable insights for urban planning and environmental policy.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
