Lolium multiflorum density responses under ozone and herbicide stress

Adaptations to overcrowding of individual plants result in density dependant control of growth and development. There is little information on how anthropogenic stresses modify these responses. We investigated whether combinations of diclofop-methyl herbicide and tropospheric ozone alter the pattern...
