Urban Green Walls under Traffic Stress: Linking the Elemental Composition of Particulate Matter Deposition to Plant Physiological and Gene Expression Responses

Abstract This one-year study integrates multi-elemental fractionation, physiological, and gene expression analyses to investigate PM retention and plant responses in a nine-species green wall at a high-traffic urban site. A chemical fractionation approach was optimized to discrim...
