Impact of Ozone on Trees: an Ecophysiological Perspective

  • Chapter
Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 64))

Abstract

Photooxidants have been recognized since the 1950s as gaseous agents that are potentially harmful to plants (Lefohn 1992). Early observations in the Los Angeles area had established links between vegetation damage and high photooxidant levels which were generated, in the presence of sunlight, from photochemical reactions of nitrogen oxides and organic compounds (as released from industrial and other anthropogenic sources into the atmosphere, Middleton et al. 1950; Haagen-Smit et al. 1952). Studies on tobacco then clarified that the typical spot-like visible symptoms were due to the 03 component of photochemical smog (Heggestad and Middleton 1959). During recent decades, high 03 regimes have spread across most major urban areas around the world, and enhanced 03 concentrations are encountered even in rural regions (Stockwell et al. 1997). Towards the beginning of the twenty-first century, ozone has become a pollutant of great concern, regarding its impact on trees and forests, although the role of this agent in forest decline of the eastern USA and Europe has remained controversial (Matyssek and Innes 1999).
