Contents of chlorophyll, carotenoids and magnesium in the control and soil dust treatments.

Parameter Control Soil dust
Chl a (mg/m2) 22.65 ± 2.49b 16.69 ± 1.10a
Chl b (mg/m2) 6.27 ± 0.85a 5.44 ± 1.08a
Chlt (mg/m2) 28.92 ± 3.31b 22.13 ± 2.09a
Car (mg/m2) 6.07 ± 0.96a 4.88 ± 0.79a
Mg (g/kg DW) 4.37 ± 0.32b 4.00 ± 0.24a

Chl a: chlorophyll a, Chl b: chlorophyll b, Chlt: total chlorophyll, Car: carotenoids. Values are means ± SD. Lower-case letters indicate significant differences based on Fisher’s LSD test (p ≤ 0.05). Data with the same letter are not significantly different.
