A natural clay mineral with water molecules within its structure layers. It is produced in several particle sizes, which affects the physical characteristic of the material (e.g., porosity, water holding capacity, air space). Vermiculite has a pH of 7.0–7.5 and low electrical conductivity (EC...
O,, however, which is formed by photochemical proc- esses from precursor air pollutants, had its higher values outside the tunnels in summer (Figure 8). Unexpected were the higher average concentrations of NO and CO inside theALT- and PAU-tunnel in summer than in winter. Munich summer 1992...

At the plant functional type level, ANPP responded positively to elevated CO2 and nitrogen deposition but negatively to increased air temperature. C3 winter annuals exhibited a larger ANPP response to higher CO2 levels (> 420 ppm) than shrubs, which in the long term could lead changes in ...
The benefits resulted from air pollutant removal ($12,889, $2.5/tree) and rainwater runoff interception ($15,534, $3.0/tree) were smaller. In addition, tree species with more maturing trees and mature trees (i.e., with larger diameter at breast height) and large leaf area in the campus...
In the complex context of urbanization and climate change, how to improve the resilience of cities to deal with various uncertain and unpredictable threats
into the masses. Like purveyors of goods and services, social media have taken a similar approach and have created a need, a demand for their service, that absent our engagement with them, would not exist. No one ‘needs’ social media, not like we do air, water, food, shelter direct...
So, you’re getting fresh air along with fresh food. Natural pest control Even when you plant in a small space, vegetables and fruits can bring pests into the yard and onto the patio. By planting strategically, or companion planting, you can integrate pest-repelling plants into your garden...
winter. Shading homes with trees has been shown to reduce peak cooling load by up to 47% and overall load by about 29% (Akbariet al.,1997), also translating into significant monetary savings. Energy savings further improve air quality as they reduce emissions associated with energy production....
Transpiration patterns of Aesculus chinensis in relation to explanatory variables in the microclimatic, air quality, and biological phenomena categories were measured in Beijing, China using the thermal dissipation method. The highest transpiration rate measured as the sap flux density of the trees took...
