[PCA] ORV dust effects on plants and pollination - information needed

[Emily Roberson]

I have a query from a botanist about effects of off road vehicle generated
dust on plants in general and pollination in annuals in particular. I
haven't seen much research on this, and we could certainly use it. 

 

Can anyone point me towards information on ORV dust - or other road dust -
impacts to plants, photosynthesis, transpiration, pollination, etc. ???

 

Thank you! 

 

Emily
