To develop the usefulness of plants as bioindicators requires an appropriate selection of plant species which entail an utmost importance for a particular situation. Four physiological and biochemical parameters including leaf relative water content (RWC), ascorbic acid (AA) content, total leaf chlorophyll (TCh) and leaf extract pH were used to develop an APTI. The present study was designed to categorise trees commonly used as roadside plantations, as sensitive or resistant based on their air pollution tolerance index (APTI) values. The study area selected for the same was the educational hub of Gujarat State i.e. Vidyanagar. The seasonal variations in the APTI values of the selected tree species were studied. From the present study the order of tolerance of the selected tree species was Cassia renigera>Cassia fistula> Delonix regia>Azadirachta indica >Samanea ...

Analysis of spectral reflectance of the soil in this area exhibited a notable difference between the normal and the salt affected soils. A good correlation has been observed between the spectral reflectance and different soil characteristics, exhibiting the influence of physicochemical properties on the soil reflectance.
