17 Types of Urban Garden Plants that Contribute
to the Direct or Indirect Climate Change. Common
Problems in Egypt
17.1 High-Temperature Tolerant Plants
Palm trees: Phoenix dactylifera; trees: Tamarix spp.—Acacia spp.—Poinciana.
Delonix regia—Opuntia spp.—Bogainvillea spp.—Nerium oleander—Dodonaea
viscosa—Cupressus spp.—Schinus molle—Casuarina spp. —Albizzia Lebbek—
Ziziphus spina-christi—Hyphaene thebaica—Azadirachta indica—Eucalyptus spp.
Parkinsonia aculeata—Populs spp.—Washtunia palms—Creatonia siliqua—Melia
azedarach—Olea europaea—Conocarpus erectus; shrubs: Lantana camara.
17.2 Plants Reduce Methane
– Araucaria spp.
– Pine.
17.3 Plants for Phytoncides (Aromatic Volatile Substances)
– Cassia nodosa—Bauhinia—Acacia farnesina.
17.4 Plants Resistant to Smoke and Dust
– Tamarix spp.—Nerium oleander—Melia azedarach—Ficus spp.—Hibiscus
spp.—Eucalyptus spp.—Populs spp.—Phoenix spp.
18 Attenuation of Gaseous Pollutants by Greenbelts
Importance of greenbelts in attenuating gaseous pollutants and presents the meteorological, physicochemical, biological, and horticultural dimensions associated with
effective greenbelt design [171, 168]. They have presented the gist of a system of
methodologies, developed by us, for greenbelt design. A case study demonstrating
the applicability of the system has been presented.
