Sensitivity of typical European roadside plants to atmospheric particulate matter

Roadside plant communities are especially exposed to air pollution, including a diverse cocktail of potentially toxic compounds transported by particulates. Some groups of these compounds, heavy metals and polyaromatic hydrocarbons influence plants through reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. B...

description Roadside plant communities are especially exposed to air pollution, including a diverse cocktail of potentially toxic compounds transported by particulates.
