Ecophysiological Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants

  • Chapter
Book cover Physiological Plant Ecology IV

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((920,volume 12 / D))

Abstract

In a brief review article it is not possible to cover all aspects of a topic such as this, nor can a full sense of historical perspective be given. We have attempted to survey the major sources of pollutants, pollutant uptake or deposition on plants and the physiological and biochemical responses to pollutant exposure. Interactions with diseases and pests or with plant nutrition are scarcely treated, and the interested reader is referred to articles by Heagle (1982) or Cowling and Koziol (1982) for those subjects.
