Plants in natural habitats are subject to progressive variations in light intensity, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and temperature (Yamori et al. 2010). Plants make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is based on two reactions, the light reactions and the dark reactions.

Introduction Nowadays, rapid climate change occurs due to active urbanization, as the growth of cities contributes to the urban heat-island effect (Gill et al., 2007). City trees play a critical role in ameliorating the heat-island effect and in removing particulate matter (PM) from the air (Gill et al., 2007). Consequently, increasing the number of city trees in spatial design could be a viable solution to reducing the pace of climate change and improving the quality of air in large cities,...
