Effects of elevated CO2 on phenolics in black locust seedlings inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under cadmium pollution by 13C isotopic tracer technique
Phenolics can help plants mitigate stress of adverse environments. Elevated CO2 (eCO2) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may improve phenolics synthesis, however, the contribution of eCO2 to phenolics in pla...
