Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Seedling dry weight did not differ significantly across copper concentrations.
- Intervention effect Seedling pigment levels did not differ significantly across copper concentrations.
- Intervention effect Photosynthetic rate was negatively affected only at 128 µM copper.
- Intervention effect Transpiration rate was negatively affected only at 128 µM copper.
- Intervention effect The authors report no overall copper effect below 128 µM in Handroanthus.
- Observation Copper accumulated mainly in the roots.
- Observation Copper accumulation occurred without a decrease in biomass.
- Mechanism The authors interpret root copper accumulation without biomass loss as evidence of copper tolerance and potential for phytostabilization.
