Urban greening based on the supply and demand of atmospheric PM2.5 removal
Faced with various urban environmental problems, cities are implementing greening plans to satisfy the demands of residents for a more habitable environment. Because the relationship between the supply and demand of ecosystem services (ESs) often changes spatially and seasonally, identifying the pri...

Faced with various urban environmental problems, cities are implementing greening plans to satisfy the demands of residents for a more habitable environment. Because the relationship between the supply and demand of ecosystem services (ESs) often changes spatially and seasonally, identifying the priority space and suitable species for greening are critical. Taking the removal of particulate matter less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) in Beijing, China, as an example, a Greening Demand Index was proposed by combining seasonal nongreen coverage, PM2.5 concentration, and population density. The results show that, the greening demand (GD) increases along the suburban-urban gradient and is higher in the impervious areas than in other land-cover types.
