The use of Leaf Characteristics of Common Oak (Quercus Robur L.) to Monitor A…

Abstract Biomonitoring of atmospheric ammonia (NH3) concentrations is generally performed with epiphytic lichens, using species’ abundances and/or nitrogen concentration as monitoring tools. However, the potential of leaf characteristics of trees to monitor the atmospheric NH3 concentration has remained largely unexplored. Therefore, we performed a passive biomonitoring study with common …
