(2016, neutral): “Contributing to this is a growing awareness of the intrinsic and monetary value of the ecosystem services that the urban forest can provide, such as energy conservation, carbon storage, reduced stormwater runoff, improved air quality, and enhanced human health and well-being (Brack, 2002; Escobedo e”
Green spaces and cognitive development in primary schoolchildren (2015, background): “Urban areas are characterized by a network of nonnatural built-up infrastructures with increased pollutant levels and less green environments (43).”
Perception and preference of trees: A psychological contribution to tree species selection in urban areas (2016, background): “…heat stress (Potchter et al., 2006; Bowler et al., 2010; Shashua-Bar et al., 2010), building energy use (Akbari et al., 2001; Nowak and Dwyer, 2007; Escobedo et al., 2011), atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2, Nowak and Dwyer, 2007; Escobedo et al., 2011), rainfall runoff, flooding, noise levels, and…”
Benefits of restoring ecosystem services in urban areas (2015, background): “Pollution reduction and health effects: Urban vegetation is widely reported to improve air quality [19,20] although this effect can be context dependent due to the high spatial and temporal variability in and among cities [21,22].”
A systematic map of research exploring the effect of greenspace on mental health (2020, background): “The latter is important to insure robust statistical inference is possible from the study (Eigenbrod, Hecnar, & Fahrig, 2011); subsampling approaches can aid in achieving this (Fahrig et al., 2011).”
Plant species differences in particulate matter accumulation on leaf surfaces. (2012, background): “To optimize the benefits of trees in various urban settings, the first step must be to document the ability of different taxa to accumulate PM and air-borne pollutants (Dzierżanowski et al., 2011; Escobedo et al., 2011).”
