Abstract
⺠A transect study assessed the effects of roads at three calcareous grasslands. ⺠Substantial areas experienced NOx above the critical level of 30 μg mâ3. ⺠Copper, zinc and lead concentrations approximately doubled in roadside soils. ⺠Roads may also disrupt natural drainage and increase the pH of soils. ⺠Plant compositional changes were found in relation to roadside proximity.
