Bellis perennis - variations of physiological responses in urban conditions
Journal Title: Annals of West University of Timisoara, ser. Biology - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present study, Bellis perennis were sampled from park and a nearby street in the urban area of Timisoara and in different time periods, i.e. April and July. The objectives were to examine the potential impacts of traffic pollution on the B. perennis and the repartition of water, dry matter and organic matter into different plant parts (leaves, scapes, inflorescences and roots). Our results would be helpful in understanding the resource distribution within the plant in urban environment.
