“…Trees growing in public green space are exposed to various environmental factors, damage and destruction caused by air pollution, human activity and adverse weather conditions [14–17]. As far as tolerance to urban conditions is concerned, coniferous trees are less tolerant to pollution than deciduous ones–hence the latter are more common in urbanised areas [17]. Deciduous trees are more sensitive to the exposure and effect of O 3 , whereas coniferous trees are more sensitive to the high concentration of SO 2 and NO 2 in the air [13].…”

Trees have multi-aspect influence on the microclimate in urbanised areas. Therefore, it is important to investigate the biotic and abiotic factors affecting their health. The aim of the conducted study was to assess the chemical composition of soils and the nutritional status of lime and horse chestnut trees in selected sites and the influence of these factors on the condition and health of these tree species in urbanised areas. The research was conducted on selected trees (n = 643) growing in different parts of the city. The soils and plants were analysed for the content of macro- and microelements, sodium and heavy metals. A canonical variation analysis (CVA)–the canonical variant of Fisher's linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was used to construct the model. The CVA enabled the creation of 4 CCA models. The research showed that in general, the soil in all the sites of lime and horse chestnut trees was alkalised–at the same time it was characterised by low salinity. Despite the alkaline soil the statistical analysis showed a positive correlation between the content of manganese in the lime leaves and the deterioration of their health. In spite of that due to the satisfactory health status and condition of trees in most locations temporary guide values of nutrients were proposed for trees growing in urbanised areas. The following temporary guide values of nutrients were proposed for the horse chestnut trees (% d. m.): N 2.38%-4.71%, P 0.24%-0.46%, K 1.13%-2.31%, Ca 1.05%-2.12%, Mg 0.16%-0.42%, S 0.12%-0.23%; Fe 89.8–198.8, Zn 17.6–33.1, Cu 7.36–19.61 (mg kg-1 d. m.). The following temporary guide values were proposed for the small-leaved lime-trees (% d. m.): N 2.45%-3.22%, P 0.27%-0.42%, K 1.52%-2.86%, Ca 1.43%-2.02%, Mg 0.19%-0.35%, S 0.19%-0.25%; Fe 137.6–174.3, Zn 20.2–23.8, Cu 8.36–9.79 (mg kg-1 d. m.).

Highlights• Defoliation of Tilia cordata was investigated by fungal isolation from symptomatic leaf petioles and ITS sequence determination.• The disease symptoms were associated with the presence of Apiognomonia errabunda.• We report the first nucleotide sequences of A. errabunda from the Nordic countries. AbstractWe investigated the causative agent of a disease outbreak affecting small-leaved limes (Tilia cordata Mill.) and resulting in darkening of the leaf petioles and excessive defoliation during summer 2016 in southern Finland. The fungal species composition of the symptomatic petioles was examined by culture isolation and molecular identification using ITS rDNA sequences, which revealed the most prevalent fungal species present in the petioles as Apiognomonia errabunda (Roberge) Höhn. Based on reviewing curated herbarium specimens deposited at the Universities of Helsinki and Turku, A. errabunda is native and widely distributed in small-leaved limes in Finland, and occasionally infects also other broadleaved trees, including Quercus robur L. and ornamental species of Tilia L. and Fagus L. The ITS sequence analysis conducted during this study revealed minor within-species polymorphisms similar to those observed earlier in the Central European and Russian populations of A. errabunda, and reports the first nucleotide sequences of this species from the Nordic countries.

This research concerns the impact of air and soil pollution on the health status of selected tree species in parks and urban forests. The analysis was carried out over a decade, which allowed for creating the best models illustrating the impact of selective factors related to air and soil pollution on the health status of small-leaved limes, maples, oaks, and chestnut trees in the city. (1) Background and Objectives: The research aimed to identify the environmental factors that have the greatest impact on the health condition of trees in urban conditions and show which species are the most resistant to pollution in urban areas. The research object was 2441 individuals of four tree species inhabiting 11 parks and urban forests in Poznań. We assessed the trees in terms of dendrometric parameters and health status. Tree-stand soils were tested for P, K, Ca, Mg, and Na content using various analytical methods. Air data were obtained from a generally accessible WIOS website. The above data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Our research has shown that unfavorable environmental parameters impact the health status of trees growing in urban areas. The most significant negative impact of O3 on the health of three out of four examined tree species was demonstrated. Other pollutants that affect the trees health include Mn (in the soil) and NO, NO2, CO, and C6H6 (in the air). Oak turned out to be the most resistant species to urban pollution. The area where chestnut trees grew turned out to be the most Fe, Mn, Na, and Pb soil-polluted and air-polluted with most of the substances recorded. The permissible concentration levels were exceeded in the case of tropospheric NOx, PM10, PM2.5, and Pb.
