The potential importance of Juncus acutus for remediation of Zn-contaminated lands has been recognized, because of its Zn tolerance and capacity to accumulate Zn. Since it is also a halophyte, the extent to which salinity influences its Zn tolerance requires investigation. A factorial greenhouse experiment was designed to assess the effect of...

A challenge exists in the need to understand plant responses in complex environmental matrixes, such as those predicted by climate change models, being this information essential for species that support important ecosystem functions. A factorial climatic chamber experiment was designed to evaluate the impact of atmospheric CO2 concentration...
