Effects of heavy metals and acid irrigation on the birch rust, Melampsoridium betulinum
Abstract Effects of simulated acid rain and heavy metals on the occurrence of Melampsoridium betulinum in naturally infected mountain‐birch trees and seedlings ( Betula pubescens subsp. tortuosa ) were studied in a subarctic area where background polution levels are low. The short term (2 years) eff...

| Summary: | Abstract Effects of simulated acid rain and heavy metals on the occurrence of Melampsoridium betulinum in naturally infected mountain‐birch trees and seedlings ( Betula pubescens subsp. tortuosa ) were studied in a subarctic area where background polution levels are low. The short term (2 years) effects of copper, nickel and sulphuric acid, and long term (8 years) effects of nitric‐ and sulphuric‐acid deposition on birch‐rust infection were determined. |
