AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "Air pollutant removal, particularly of large dust particles relevant to asthma, was identified as an ecosystem service contributing to the stakeholder objective to improve air quality…Rates of air pollutant removal depend on the downward flux of particles intercepted by the tree canopy…Because atmospheric pollutant concentration can vary widely across space and time, we standardized across watersheds by calculating the removal rate per unit concentration of pollutant, assuming a pollutant concentration of 1 g m^-3. Specifically, the removal rate was calculated per unit concentration of particulate matter greater than…PM<sub>10, applying a typical deposition velocity of 1.25 cm s^-1…" |
