Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7306648
Effects of the main phytotoxic gases that injure eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) and the possibilities of breeding resistant trees are discussed in a comprehensive literature review. The main purpose of the report is to summarize knowledge which may be used in providing protection to a valuable species. Implicitly related topics are reviewed briefly, including sorption and emission of gases by plants, air quality standards, bioindicators for monitoring air quality, and silvicultural measures for protecting trees against injuries.
