https://www.selleckchem.com/products/deg-77.html Green infrastructure (GI) implementation can benefit an urban environment by reducing the impacts of urban stormwater on aquatic ecosystems and human health. However, few studies have systematically analyzed the biophysical effects on regional meteorology and air quality that are triggered by changes in the urban vegetative coverage. In this study we use a state-of-the-art high-resolution air quality model to simulate the effects of a hypothetically feasible vegetation-focused GI implementation scenario in Kansas City, MO/KS on regional meteorology and air quality. Full year simulations are conducted for both the base case and GI land use scenarios using two different land surface models (LSMs) schemes inside the meteorological model. While the magnitudes of the changes in air quality due to the GI implementation differ using the two LSMs, the model outputs consistently showed increases in summertime PM2.5 (1.1 μg m-3, approximately 10% increase using NOAH LSM), which occurred mostly during the night and arose from the primary components, due to the cooler surface temperatures and the decreased planetary boundary layer height (PBLH). Both the maximum daily 8-hour average ozone and 1 h daily maximum O3 during summertime, decreased over the downtown areas (maximum decreases of 0.9 and 1.4 ppbv respectively). The largest ozone decreases were simulated to happen during the night, mainly caused by the titration effect of increased NOx concentration from the lower PBLH. These results highlight the region-specific non-linear process feedback from GI on regional air quality, and further demonstrate the need for comprehensive coupled meteorological-air quality modeling systems and necessity of accurate land surface model for studying these impacts.There is a growing understanding of how oil pollution can affect aquatic ecosystems, including physical and chemical effects. One of the biggest challenges with detecting the effects
