Effect of particulate pollution on rate of transpiration in Shorea robusta at Lalpahari forest

Abstract: The effect of stone dust deposition on the rate of transpiration in Shorea robusta was studied in three principal seasons in a polluted forest in comparison to an almost non-polluted forest. The extent of particulate pollution was determined by measuring suspended particulate matter in the air and dust fall on leaf surface. Macroscopic and microscopic leaf injury symptoms were studied. Scanning electron microscopic examination of leaf surfaces revealed a number of foliar anomalies. Qualitative determination of… Show more

“…It has been reported in literature that particulate matter may induce damage by lowering the transpiration rate (51) and by stomata blockage with a decrease in their conductance to CO 2 (52). In the case of Cineraria , it is possible the large‐sized particulate material does not produce a harmful effect because surface hairs act as a stopping barrier and powders cannot reach stomata.…”

“…For efficient transpiration to take place, general freshness of leaf is critical which is lacking in particulate polluted sites. These pollutants lead to external foliar anomalies, which results in overall decline in transpiration efficiency of the stands affected by particulate pollutants 20 . Thus, the particulate pollution dust leads to reduced transpiration in the affected trees during summer season.…”
