Growth Response of Southern Pines to Acidic Precipitation and Ozone

  • Chapter
Impact of Air Pollutants on Southern Pine Forests

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 118))

Abstract

Data from 10-year remeasurements of Forest Inventory and Analysis plots in the South indicated a recent, unexplained decline in radial growth of natural pine stands in some portions of the region in the mid-1980s (Sheffield and Cost, 1987; Zahner et al., 1989). These observations, along with reports of damage in high-elevation forests of eastern North America (Johnson and Siccama, 1983), southern California (Miller, 1983), and Europe (Blank, 1985) led to an increase in public and industry concern. Although no conclusive evidence had emerged on a specific cause of these declines, air pollutants-in particular, acid deposition and ozone-were implicated as possible primary or contributing factors (McLaughlin, 1985).
