城市森林可以提供多种环境效益。随着城市面积的扩大，城市植被在改善环境质量方面的作用将变得更加重要。对这些好处的量化表明，城市森林可以显著改善空气质量。因此，国家空气质量法规现在愿意潜在地将植树作为改善空气质量的手段。同样，量化城市树木的其他环境效益(例如，改善水质、固碳)可使城市植被纳入旨在改善环境质量的其他方案/法规。由Elsevier GmbH出版。
Urban forests can provide multiple environmental benefits. As urban areas expand, the role of urban vegetation in improving environmental quality will increase in importance. Quantification of these benefits has revealed that urban forests can significantly improve air quality. As a result, national air quality regulations are now willing to potentially credit tree planting as means to improve air quality. Similarly, quantification of other environmental benefits of urban trees (e.g., water quality improvement, carbon sequestration) could provide for urban vegetation to be incorporated in other programs/regulations designed to improve environmental quality.
