“…Acid rain generally slows plant growth by generating abnormalities in plant metabolism such as photosynthesis, chlorophyll content, nitrogen metabolism, and production of reactive oxygen species. Inversely, there are also exceptional cases of growth promotion [ 1 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Anatomically, acid rain can produce alterations of the cuticle thickness [ 28 , 29 ], cellular deformation and occlusion of stomatal cells, loss of trichomes in the epidermis, cell collapse in the mesophyll, and the formation of scar tissue [ 30 , 31 ].…”
