摘      要：Urban trees provide vital ecosystem services such as mitigating heat island,improving air quality by removing various air pollutants,capturing rainwater,and acting as topsoil carbon *** aesthetic value of urban trees is also another feature that has to be considered in the context of urban *** criteria for the selection of urban trees have to respond to new challenges imposed to the cities in a near *** climate change factors increase the harshness of our cities,and thereby the plant resilience to abiotic stresses has also to be seriously considered for planning the urban ***-leafed species,characterized by the permanent presence of foliar anthocyanins,show a greater tolerance to diff erent environmental cues than green-leafed species commonly used in our *** addition,red tree species own a great aesthetic value which has been underestimated in the context of urban areas,especially in the harsh Mediterranean *** this study,we emphasize the“privilege of being redfrom diff erent point of view,in order to drive the attention to the possibility to increase the use of red-leafed species for urban“greening.Some possible negative aspects related to their use are rebutted and the direction of future researches are proposed.
