Comparative study of growth, photosynthesis and respiration of several boreal species under the conditions of the north and extreme-north taiga
Comparative investigation on growth, CO2-exchange, metabolic properties, and ultrastructure of leaf cells of six widespread boreal plant species with different types of adaptive strategy (Pyrola rotundifolia, Vaccinium vitis-idaea, Geranium silvaticum, Trienthalis europaea, Trollius europaeus, Comar...
