Urban ecosystems have great potential for urban biodiversity conservation, but achieving conservation goals relies on comprehensive ecological assessments to assist in active management practices; however, land use changes led unique abiotic and biotic inputs that affected altered below-ground soil composition, with potentially negative implications across trophic levels. We investigated the re...

The urban environment induces stress on trees and its impact can be identified by observing the condition of crown. aim this study is to correlate variables crown density (Cdn), transparency (Ctr) dieback (Cdie) with following vegetation indices: normalized difference index (NDVI), enhanced (EVI), blue-normalized (BNDVI), green-normalized (GNDVI), green–red (GRVI) red–green–blue (RGBVI) crowns ...

Günümüzde insan ve çevre sağlığını tehdit eden en önemli problemlerin başında hava kirliliği gelmektedir. Hava kirliliğinin pek çok bileşeni bulunmakla birlikte, bunlar arasında ağır metaller ayrı bir öneme sahiptir. Bunun sebebi metallerin bazılarının düşük konsantrasyonlarda bile toksik olmaları, canlılar için besin elementi olan birçok metalin yüksek zararlı canlı bünyesinde biyobirikme eğil...
