Heavy metal pollution is today's most critical element, threatening the atmosphere and health. Lithium (Li), a heavy metal, has recently been extensively used in various industrial areas poses risk to environmental health, including human It well-known that metals can be much more harmful when taken into tissues via inhalation. Therefore, tracking decreasing alteration Li contamination airborne essential. The current study aimed define whether Pseudotsuga menziesii Cedrus atlantica are suitable for monitoring reducing air. Within scope of study, variations concentration depending on organ, direction, age range last 40 years were evaluated species growing Düzce, Türkiye, which amongst 5 contaminated provinces Europe. As result, it was determined region anthropogenic origin both but not use it.

Abstract Heavy metal (HM) pollution in urban air, a global dilemma, has increased drastically the last century. Aluminum (Al) is one of HMs and neurotoxic element that can be absorbed into human tissues through digestion, breathing, skin. Al accumulation humans cause diseases even death. Due to risks it poses environmental health, vital track contamination shifts airborne decrease them. In this study, 40-year concentration differences Pseudotsuga menziesii , Cedrus atlantica Picea orientalis Cupressus arizonica Pinus pinaster grown Düzce, Türkiye, fifth most polluted European town, terms direction, tree species, tissue type were assessed. As result, generally varies as outer bark > inner wood. Whole species accumulate significantly, transfer between adjacent cells wood part limited. conclusion, all used biomonitors temporal changes. However, highest concentrations, especially part, observed these chosen suitable phytoremediation studies.

Nowadays, the applications of nanotechnology are increasing in various fields such as information technology, energy, medical sector, and agriculture. Nanotechnology has proved its ability to solve problems agriculture related industries. Establishing impact nanoparticles on ecosystems become a primary research topic, but studies forest trees quite limited. This study examined effects silver germination parameters oriental beech seeds established their toxic threshold values. Silver were applied at concentrations 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 mg/L (Fagus orientalis) collected from 10 different populations order identify rate, percentage, seedling height, root collar diameter, plumula length, radicle thickness, length parameters. The results revealed that have negative effect seeds, this is clearly seen rate 20 levels characters starting 60 dose, causing decrease 13% 24% 40% 30% length. Kahramanmaras-Andirin population was found be most affected by nanoparticles, while Bursa-Inegol Ordu-Akkus least affected.

Global climate change poses significant threats to ecosystems worldwide, particularly impacting long-lived forest tree species such as Pinus nigra. This study assessed the potential shifts in distribution areas for nigra, an important species, one highly vulnerable global change, given its prevalence continental climates, Türkiye under different scenarios (SSPs 585 and 245). In this study, suitable regions of nigra were evaluated based on SSPs 245 using nine models. Results indicated losses ranging from 15.0% 43.5% 245) 19.7% 48.9% 585) by 2100. However, 2100, new are expected be formed at rates 13.8% 32.1% 15.1% 34.4% according above scenarios. Because most newly quite far where currently spreads, it seems necessary provide migration mechanism needed humans prevent population process.

Among the heavy metals (HMs) whose concentrations in natural environments have risen considerably last era, chromium (Cr) is one of most toxic. Because risks it poses to human and environmental health, great importance screen variation Cr contamination atmosphere decrease pollution. This study aimed determine proper tree species that can be used monitor reduce contamination. For this aim, studies were conducted on Tilia tomentosa, Robinia pseudoacacia, Cedrus atlantica, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Fraxinus excelsior growing Düzce, which among 5 contaminated European towns according World Air Pollution report. Samples taken from these trees examined, changes concentration depending species, organs, compass direction, age range 60 years evaluated. Results indicated higher pollution recent years, consistent with traffic density, but there was no effect direction. It also determined appropriate for screening airborne decreasing pseudoacacia atlantica.
