Monitoring of DNA damage in individuals exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons in Ecuador.

abstract：:Forests are one of Earth's critical biomes. They have been shown to respond strongly to many of the drivers that are predicted to change natural systems over this century, including climate, introduced species, and other anthropogenic influences. Predicting how different tree species might respond to this complex of f...
