| does particulate matter along roadsides interfere with plant reproduction? a comparison of effects of different road types on cichorium intybus pollen deposition and germination. | the roadside habitat can be challenging for plants, which must maintain normal biological processes despite an influx of airborne pollutants. while the effects of many gases on plants have been quantified, the impacts of particulate pollutants have been relatively less studied. this is especially true of field experiments where particle dispersion may be influenced by meteorology and roadway use. we examined chicory (cichorium intybus l.) along roadsides in the cincinnati, ohio metropolitan area ... | 2017 | 28089212 |
