Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Vehicular exhaust negatively affected leaf morphology of roadside plants compared with a non-polluted site.
- Intervention effect Vehicular exhaust increased stomatal number on the adaxial leaf surface compared with a non-polluted site.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll content of leaves was higher in plants from polluted areas than in plants from non-polluted areas.
- Observation Melia azedarach and Salix angustifolia were tolerant tree species under the air pollution tolerance index.
- Mechanism The authors interpret that plants in polluted environments go through adaptive processes.
