Good to the Last Drip: How Trees Help To Reduce Pollution

"In the past, other scientists had estimated how much rainfall was intercepted by trees growing in rural areas. Since urban areas and rural areas are different, the scientists in this study felt that urban trees should be studied separately." [excerpted from Thinking About Science] This is a feature article from the Urban Forest Edition of the Natural Inquirer (Vol 6, No 1). It is based on the research article: Rainfall interception by Sacramento’s urban forest. Published in: Journal of Aboriculture 24(4):235-244. Authored by: Q. Xiao, E.G. McPherson, J.R. Simpson, and S.L. Ustin. [SCUFRI]
