Changes in the Essential Oil Composition in the Needles of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Under Anthropogenic Stress
Unfavorable anthropogenic factors, such as air pollution, lead to biochemical responses in trees. Changes in the amounts of secondary metabolites may be early indicators of invisible injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate composition of the essential oils in the needles of Scots pine (Pinus...
