Plant Systems Developed for Determining Impact of Ambient Ozone on Plant Productivity: Ozone Sensitive and Tolerant White Clover Clones Snap Bean Lines
Impact of Ambient Ozone on Plant Productivity on LI: Reduction in Clover Biomass Estimated Based on Comparing Sensitive and Tolerant Clones
Clover System for Assessing Ozone Impact Ozone-sensitive and ozone-tolerant clones. 10 plants of each grown outdoors in pots. Foliage removed, dried, and weighed every 28 days.
