Street trees close to the home may reduce the risk of depression - Sonnenseite - Ökologische Kommunikation mit Franz Alt

Researchers show positive effect of urban nature on mental health. Daily contact with trees in the street may significantly reduce the risk of depression and the need for antidepressants. This is the result of a study by researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), Leipzig University (UL), and the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, recently published in the journal Scientific Reports. Street tree planting in residential areas of cities may be a nature-based solution to reduce the risk of depression with added benefits of also addressing climate change and biodiversity loss. This should be taken into account by urban planners, health professionals, and conservationists.

However, transition metals are expensive and harmful to the environment, both when they are mined and when they are used. Therefore, we are trying to find better alternatives. That two metals can do more than one is already known in the case of transition metals. However, there has been hardly any research on the more sustainable main-group metals of the periodic table, Kretschmer adds.
