The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of seven shrub species (Arbutus unedo, Elaeagnus x ebbingei, Laurus nobilis, Ligustrum japonicum, Photinia x fraseri, Viburnum lucidum, Viburnum tinus) to assimilate CO2 and to remove some pollutants. Plants were grown in 5-L containers. CO2 uptake and carbon allocation were determined in 2010 and 2011. Carbon assimilation was measured in either well watered or water stressing conditions. Removal of heavy metals and particulate matter were measured in 2011. Results may provide useful information for sustainable planning of urban areas and roadside greening.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of seven shrub species (Arbutus unedo, Elaeagnus x ebbingei, Laurus nobilis, Ligustrum japonicum, Photinia x fraseri, Viburnum lucidum, Viburnum tinus) to assimilate CO2 and to remove some pollutants. Plants were grown in 5-L containers. CO2 uptake and carbon allocation were determined in 2010 and 2011. Carbon assimilation was measured in either well watered or water stressing conditions. Removal of heavy metals and particulate matter were measured in 2011. Results may provide useful information for sustainable planning of urban areas and roadside greening.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
