PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Dust, a common form of air pollution, is particularly problematic on roadsides, which are important habitats for plants and pollinators. We investigated whether and how road dust affects plant sexual reproduction using Primula chungensis in a biodiversity hotspot. Our study provides compelling evidence that road dust can harm plant reproductive success

These are they which frequent the denser portions of the herbage, and are efficiently sheltered by it ...
