Abstract
Preservation of the natural environment, a growing worldwide concern, is being approached in various ways. Forests are useful because they continuously eliminate air pollutants while remediating and preserving the natural environment. Forest trees have a high capacity to absorb air pollutants and detoxify toxic substances produced by air pollution, but they do not adequately resist harmful air pollutants and other environmental stresses. An effective way to preserve the natural environment is to improve the resistance of forest trees to air pollutants and other environmental stresses.
