A team of meteorologists and atmospheric scientists from Nanjing University in China found that air pollution reduces the efficiency of cooling the environment by planting trees. To work published In the scientific journal Nature Geoscience.
The group created climate models to measure temperature in green spaces at various levels of air pollution. Scientists have found that removing microdust from the air helps trees grow better because they get more sunlight. More lush greens make the environment more humid and increase the cooling effect.
The researchers concluded that reducing air pollution levels by planting trees cools the environment by 0.4°C more than planting plants, without improving the ecology of the atmosphere.
The Iraqi government had promised earlier. black 5 million trees to combat dust storms and mitigate climate change.
