This suggests that these lower plants can only colonize inhospitable habitats by adaptations which carry with them an inherent susceptibility to air pollution. Extensive laboratory and field work has emphasized the controlling influence of habitat on the survival of species. Among the strongest modifying influences are shelter, the pH, and buffer capacity of the substratum. Water relations were found to have little effect. The extreme sensitivity of most epiphytes and the problems raised by resistant species are discussed.","","","","","United Kingdom","1970-01-01","","English","Journal Article","","","69","Journal Name: New Phytol.; (United Kingdom); Journal Volume: 69","","Medium: X; Size: Pages: 605-627","","","","Journal ID: CODEN: NEPHA","https://doi.org/","","2010-05-11","5670039",""
