In this paper, CuO nanoparticles are synthesized using Tilia platyphyllos extract as reducing and stabilizing agents and TiO2are prepared via facile sol-gel method as an ideal support. FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were used to characte...

Tilia is an ecologically and economically important genus in the family Malvaceae. However, there is no complete plastid genome of Tilia sequenced to date, and the taxonomy of Tilia is difficult owing to frequent hybridization and polyploidization. A well-supported interspecific relationships of this genus is not available due to limited informative sites from the commonly used molecular marker...

To select plant species for particulate matter (PM) removal from urban environments, it is important to consider the species’ ecosystem (dis)services and environmental suitability in addition their effectiveness PM removal. In this study, 61 were ranked using three separate models: (i) leaf traits, (ii) saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM), (iii) services disservices. The accumul...
