Abstract

Taking the leaves of five Machilus species as a research object, they are Machilus oreophila, Machilus chinensis, Machilus microcarpa, Machilus lichuanensis and Machilus suaveolens. By measuring leaf surface area, cell length and width , the total dust retention, pH value of retention fluid and the content of Pb, Cr, Fe, Cu and Cd of metallic elements were measured, and compare the dust retention of five plant seedling leaves ability. The results showed that: the leaves of different kinds of Machilus have different dust abilities. Comprehensive analysis can be obtained from five kinds of Machilus dust ability in descending order of M. suaveolens > M. lichuanensis > M. chinensis > M. microcarpa > M. oreophila.
