  abstract = {{W}ith the actual increasing interest for urban soils, the evaluation of soil contamination by trace elements and the dynamics of this contamination appear mandatory to preserve plant and thereby human health. {S}treet trees and the associated soil placed in pits located nearby roads could represent convenient indicators of urban and vehicle traffic influences on soils and plants. {H}owever, data on these soils remain scarce, many studies investigating park soils rather than street tree soils. {F}urthermore, trace elements could be one of the main factors causing the observed urban tree decline, while practitioners more and more question the possible reuse of these soils after the death of trees as well as tree litter collected in the streets. {W}e evaluated the contamination in anthropogenic trace elements ({TE}), namely {Z}n, {P}b, and {C}d, of street trees ({T}ilia tomentosa) and their soils distributed all over {P}aris ({F}rance). {S}treet tree soils are imported from rural areas at the plantation of each new tree so that tree age corresponds to the time of residence of the soil within an urban environment allowing the evaluation of temporal trends on {TE} concentration in soils and trees. {T}he {TE} concentration revealed an important soil pollution, especially for the older soils (mean age of 80 years old). {T}he consideration of the residence time of trees and soils in an urban environment evidenced an accumulation of {Z}n and {P}b (ca. 4.5 mg kg(-1) year(-1) and 4 mg kg(-1) year(-1) for {Z}n and {P}b, respectively). {H}owever, leaf concentrations in {TE} were low and indicate that soil-root transfer was not significant compared to the contamination by atmospheric deposition. {T}hese results underlined the necessity to deepen the evaluation of the recycling of urban soils or plants submitted to urban contamination.},
