Abstract Effects on roots due to ozone and/or soil water deficit often occur through
diminished belowground allocation of carbon. Responses of root biomass, morphology …

Key message The root biomass of oak young trees significantly decreased after 2 years of
exposure to high levels of ozone, but increased nitrogen wet deposition tended to partly …

Red oak seedlings and mature trees were exposed to three ozone treatments (subambient,
ambient, 2× ambient) in open-top chambers. Net fine-root production and turnover were …

processes.-Phyton (Horn, Austria) 40 (4):(7)-(12). Physiological changes in roots in …

Although leaves are the primary sites of tropospheric ozone exposure, it has been
postulated that ozone may cause greater and earlier disruption of below-ground growth with …

Sixteen wetland and damp woodland species were fumigated with 70ppb O3 using closed
chambers, with an exposure period of 8hr day-1, 5 days week-1 for 21 days. Eleven of the …

Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) seedlings from three full-sib families were exposed to 0, 50, 100
or 150 ppb ozone (O 3)(5 h/d, 5 d/week for 6 or 12 weeks). Soil water potential was …

Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) was germinated and grown under nutrient non‐limiting
conditions for a total of 10–15 weeks at ambient CO2 concentration and 1100 μmol mol–1 …

Pedunculate (Quercus robur L.) and sessile (Q. petraea [Matt.] Liebl.) oaks are known to
display different ecological requirements, particularly relative to root hypoxia induced by …

Woody plants constitute a great sink of carbon storage, mitigating thus the greenhouse effect
phenomenon. They are considered key players in ecosystems, and among others, they help …
