TCD researchers to also pinpoint which species best clean air and eliminate smog
will also pinpoint which species are best for cleaning outdoor air – by removing smog from the atmosphere in the course of their natural growth.
“They are highly responsive to their environment, moulding the parts they grow every year such as new leaves and twigs – and even their physiological behaviour – to the prevailing conditions of the time,” she added. “They are, in effect, giant biological sensors with the potential to provide scientists with detailed, highly accurate, long-term datasets on the state on the environment.
“By recording data every year for the next 30, we will build up a valuable long-term data set and be able to make highly informed decisions as to which species can best clean our air, and which species are most likely to survive and thrive in our changing environment. In this way, we hope to shape ongoing and future green policy and make a major societal impact,” Prof McElwain said. This will indicate which species should be proactively protected and planted with the future in mind.
