Effects of simulated acid rain on rhizosphere microorganisms of invasive Alternanthera philoxeroides and native Alternanthera sessilis [PDF]
Acid rain not only has serious harm to the environment, but also has the same threat to plants, but the invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides still grows well compared to the native plant Alternanthera sessilis under acid rain stress.

Impact of simulated acid rain on chemical properties of Nyalau series soil and its leachate [PDF]
Greenhouse gases can cause acid rain, which in turn degrades soil chemical properties. This research was conducted to determine the effects of simulated acid rain (SAR) on the chemical properties of Nyalau series (Typic paleudults).

Pyrite oxidation under simulated acid rain weathering conditions
We investigated the electrochemical corrosion behavior of pyrite in simulated acid rain with different acidities and at different temperatures. The cyclic voltammetry, polarization curve, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results showed that ...

Effects of simulated acid rain on leaf wettability, rain retention and uptake of some inorganic ions
summaryLeaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L., Vicia faba L., Pisum sativum L. and Brassica napus L. were exposed from emergence to full expansion to seven treatments of simulated acid rain at pH values between 5.6 and 2.6. Droplet leaf contact angles in all species decreased on leaves exposed to simulated acid rain at pH <4.6 relative to those exposed at ...

Effects of exogenous NO on antioxidant system of Taxus plants under simulated acid rain stress
Taxus is a famous medicinal and landscape tree species. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) on the resistance of Taxus plants to acid rain stress and to identify Taxus species with strong acid rain resistance by

Responses of soil nutrients, enzyme activities, and soil microbial carbon metabolic activity of Cunninghamia lanceolata to acid rain stress and post-stress recovery dynamics [PDF]
Acid rain pollution has historically been a serious issue in Southern China, where the dominant acid rain anion is SO4 2−. In recent decades, China has undertaken multiple measures to reduce acid deposition, leading to significant decreases in SO2 ...

Effects of silicon on Oryza sativa L. seedling roots under simulated acid rain stress. [PDF]
Silicon (Si) has an important function in reducing the damage of environmental stress on plants. Acid rain is a serious abiotic stress factor, and Si can alleviate the stress induced by acid rain on plants. Based on these assumptions, we investigated the
