Measured at day 22 post-transplantation (Figure S3). Ctrl = control without nanomaterial amendment, CB = carbon black, MWCNT = multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and GNP = graphene nanoplatelets. Low, med (medium), and high concentrations correspond to 0.1, 100, and 1000 mg kg−1 nanomaterial on a dry soil basis. All data are shown as mean ± SE (n = 5 plants, except n = 4 for the Ctrl, CB_High, and MWCNT_Low treatments).
