Stimulatory effects of SO2 on growth of Eucalyptus rudis Endl

Clarke, K. and Murray, F. (1990) Stimulatory effects of SO2 on growth of Eucalyptus rudis Endl. New Phytologist, 115 (4). pp. 633-637.

Abstract

Eucalyptus rudis Endl. saplings were exposed to either 274 μg m−3 SO2 or 132 μg m−3 SO2 for 8 h d−1, over 123 d, in open-top chambers. Exposure to 132μg m−3 SO2 increased the height of the plants and increased the average area and dry weight of leaves. Exposure to 274 μg m−3 SO2 increased the concentration of total sulphur in the leaves and increased the number of leaves abscised. Sulphur accumulation in the leaves decreased as the duration of exposure increased.
