Re-assessing oxygen supply and air quality (ROSAQ)

Export citation

A storyline that remains popular in public discourse and policy making is that trees provide oxygen. While scientists may argue that there is an excess rather than shortage of oxygen in the atmosphere, there are important issues of air quality that trees and forests interact with. The Re-assessing Oxygen Supply and Air Quality (ROSAQ) tool provides some pointers to how these can be tackled as part of a landscape approach.
