This review summarizes the available data related to the effects of air pollution on pollen
grains from different plant species. Several studies carried out either on in situ harvested …

The pH variation and chemical characteristics of rainwater were investigated from January
2006 to December 2006 at an urban site of Guangzhou, South China. The rainwater was …

Soil pH is a major, variable growth factor in natural and agricultural soils. Although many
soils are naturally acidic, agricultural practices industrial processes and mining promote soil …

The correct choice of in vitro pollen germination media (PGM) is crucial in basic and applied
pollen research. However, the methodological gaps (eg, strong focus of current research on …

At present, acid rain has become one of the top ten global environmental issues. Acid rain
causes slower growth, injury, or decline of forests. Some dramatic effects on forests have …

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is mainly emitted into the atmosphere from both natural (eg, oxidation
of dimethyl sulphate, volcanic eruption) and anthropogenic sources (mainly combustion of …

Freeze–thaw (FT) in northern China is a common event in spring and autumn, and the
release of sulfur dioxide from coal-burning in winter is apt to trigger acid precipitation. Both …

Acid rain, as a worldwide environmental issue, can cause serious damage to plants. In this
study, we provided the first case study on the systematic responses of arabidopsis …

A fully randomized sampling design was adopted to test whether pollen viability of Austrian
pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) was impacted by NO2 pollution. Spatial strata (500⁎ 500 m each) …

Acid rain, which has become one of the most severe global environmental issues, is
detrimental to plant growth. However, effective methods for monitoring plant responses to …
