Riassunto

This publication presents an overview of current knowledge of the effects of air pollution and climate change at the end of the 20th century, at the biophysical, biochemical and physiological level of trees, against the background of climatic conditions and natural stresses. The authors provide an overview of their recent work, providing an entrance to a particular field of research rather than presenting unpublished material.
