“…In photosynthetic organisms, the molecular effects of chemical and thermal stressors result, at the individual level, in global growth inhibition (or dormancy) and photosynthesis impairment through decreased photosystem efficiency and chlorosis (Guanzon and Nakahara, 2002;Gustavson et al, 2003;González-Barreiro et al, 2004;Hummel et al, 2004;Ramel et al, 2007;Kaplan-Levy et al, 2010). Thus, in a wide variety of plants, traits relative to root and shoot growth (Hummel et al, 2004;Ramel et al, 2007Ramel et al, , 2009bCarpenter et al, 2012;Peñuelas et al, 2013;Serra et al, 2013Serra et al, , 2015, biomass (Cedergreen et al, 2004;Carpenter et al, 2012), and pigment contents (Serra et al, 2013(Serra et al, , 2015 are negatively affected by such stressors.…”
