Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Foliage biomass did not decrease under heavy metal exposure.
- Observation Zinc alone reached near-toxic foliage concentrations, especially in older foliage.
- Mechanism Zinc reached sensitive leaf blade sites and triggered oxidative stress.
- Observation The authors identify phytostabilisation and bioindication potential for sycamore maple.
