Which mechanism causes stunted eucalyptus growth when subjected repeatedly to high ozone environments?

💡 Explanation

Restricted growth occurs because ozone exposure triggers adaptive stomatal closure, causing reduced stomatal conductance decreasing CO₂ uptake for photosynthesis, therefore limiting carbon assimilation, rather than affecting structural barriers or root processes.
