Title: Roadside Tree Plantations: A Review of Their Role in Pollution Control and Ecological Importance
Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive review of roadside tree plantations, highlighting their critical function as essential green infrastructure in mitigating various forms of environmental pollution and enhancing urban ecological health. It details the intricate mechanisms by which trees contribute to air, noise, and water quality improvements, alongside their broader ecological significance in supporting biodiversity, regulating microclimates, and stabilizing soil. The review also addresses the inherent challenges in establishing and maintaining these green assets within the complex roadside environment. Furthermore, it examines the diverse methodologies employed to assess their effectiveness and identifies key research gaps. The synthesis underscores the multidisciplinary benefits of roadside tree plantations and emphasizes the imperative for strategic planning and integrated management to foster sustainable and resilient urban environments.
