The effect of dust deposition on the morphology and physiology of tree foliage

Due to climate change, natural hazards have increased around the world. One of these hazards is dust storms, which cause problems for people in arid and semi-arid regions. The inherent properties of dust particles can affect the atmospheric, oceanic, and continental climate systems. The leaf surface...
