Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Germinative capacity responded weakly to rain pH.
- Association Seedling survival was more sensitive to rain pH.
- Observation There was no macroscopic foliar injury above pH 2.6.
- Intervention effect pH 4.6 rain significantly reduced conifer seedling growth.
- Observation No consistent growth stimulation occurred.
- Observation Primary needle initiation, axillary meristems and shoot apex height were most affected by simulated pH.
- Observation Deciduous species were more resistant than coniferous species.
- Intervention effect pH 2.6 rain was generally needed to significantly reduce deciduous seedling growth.
