Table 1 Analysis of variance results of total plant biomass, plant shoot biomass, plant root biomass, plant survival, biomass of gram-positive bacteria, biomass of gram-negative bacteria, biomass of fungi, phenol oxidase activity, polyphenol oxidase activity, and total PAHs residuals as affected by CO2, O3, plant functional group richness (FGR), and all interactions.

From: Elevated tropospheric CO2 and O3 concentrations impair organic pollutant removal from grassland soil
