Urban polluted forest soils induce elevated root peroxidase activity in Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings

Plant biomass, mycorrhizal status and root peroxidase activity were measured in ectomycorrhizal Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings grown in urban polluted and native, non-polluted forest soils with added ammonium or potassium sulphates simulating N and S deposition of urban areas. Peroxidase acitivity in the fine roots of seedlings planted in polluted forest soils was higher than in those planted in non-polluted soils....
