Ozone Responses of Trees: Results from Controlled Chamber Exposures at the GSF Phytotron

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 127))

Abstract

Tree damage in the field is judged primarily by visual inspection (Forschungsbeirat Waldschäden 1989; Chappelka and Chevone 1992) using needle and leaf discoloration, premature abscission and crown transparency as the principle and rather nonspecific symptoms. A diagnostic field guide is available for distinguishing “novel” decline symptoms from known mineral deficiencies and frost or insect damage (Hartmann et al. 1988).
