Soil-plant indicators are useful to select tree species suitable for the urban conditions and to maximize the benefits provided by green infrastructures (GE). To identify effective indicators for GE, soil-plant nutrient interaction and related physiological responses were assessed in evergreen ( Cupressus sempervirens L.) and deciduous ( Acer opalus Mill., Acer rubrum L., Tilia platyphyllos Scop., Ulmus ‘Plinio’) tree species,...

Cognition-oriented treatments (COTs) are a group of non-pharmacological treatments aimed at maintaining or improving cognitive functioning.

Purpose This study aimed to assess the feasibility of the ecoenzymatic stoichiometry and isotope signature approaches as indicators of urban soil functionality, related to carbon and nutrient cycles. Methods In Pisa and Livorno (Italy), study sites with three degrees of urbanization (natural, peri-urban and central urban sites) were selected, where holm oak ( Quercus ilex L.) was the most common evergreen species. The urban an...
