The worldwide increase in urban and industrial areas represents a challenge for urban green management, pollutant mitigation and environmental monitoring. We propose an analysis approach for the spatial and spatial-temporal distribution of pollutants in the environment through dendrochemistry techniques, in order to gauge the value of this discipline in urban ecosystem. The proposed analysis models can be useful to evaluate significant changes in space and time related to economic activities and to describe the “impacts” of adopted strategies, as demonstrated in the case study of the opening or closure of factories, and therefore to describe the cause-effect relation connected with human activities. Trees represent a key factor for urban planning, providing a wide variety of ecosystem services including in-depth environmental monitoring, which is one of the main elements to be included in a high quality urban design. The proposed approach aims at suggesting the dendrochemistry as a novel and feasible tool definable as a cost-saving ecosystem service in the urban context.

树木化学：城市生物监测的生态系统服务视角

全球城市和工业区的增加对城市绿色管理、污染物减排和环境监测提出了挑战。我们提出了一种通过树木化学技术分析环境中污染物时空分布的分析方法，以衡量该学科在城市生态系统中的价值。提议的分析模型可用于评估与经济活动相关的空间和时间的重大变化，并描述所采用策略的“影响”，如工厂开办或关闭的案例研究所示，从而描述原因-与人类活动相关的效果关系。树木是城市规划的关键因素，可提供广泛的生态系统服务，包括深入的环境监测、这是高质量城市设计的主要元素之一。所提出的方法旨在将树状化学作为一种新颖可行的工具，可定义为城市环境中节省成本的生态系统服务。
