Seasonal growth, δ13C in leaves and stem, and phloem structure of birch (Betula pendula) under low ozone concentrations
The growth of potted birch cuttings (one clone of Betula pendula) was studied under low O3 concentrations (0, 0.050, 0.075, 0.100 μl l-1) throughout an entire growing season. With increasing O3 dose, 20–50% of al...
