Changes in epicuticular wax of Pinus sylvestris exposed to polluted air.
Scanning Electron Microscopy was used to study structural changes in epicuticular vax of L. with time. Changes in the contact angle of water droplets and in cuticular transpiration were also measured. By using material from a polluted and an unpolluted site it was shown that the ageing p...
