More importantly, we found that forest cover, grassland cover, total green cover, and total edge length within the 1 3 km vicinities of the monitoring station played significant roles in reducing the PM2.5 concentration, particularly in spring.
At first, vegetation cover of forest, grassland, and total green space seemed significant in reducing PM2.5 concentration only within 1.0 3.0 km of a study point, not within the first 1.0 km or beyond 3.0 km.
