Physiological Responses of Ponderosa Pine to Gradients of Environmental Stressors

  • Chapter
Oxidant Air Pollution Impacts in the Montane Forests of Southern California

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 134))

Abstract

The general physiological responses of forest trees to oxidant pollution are well documented and summarized (McLaughin 1985; Darrall 1989; Bytnerowicz and Grulke 1992; Matyssek et al. 1994; Gower et al. 1995; Heath and Taylor 1997). Most conifers have a higher threshold of tolerance to air pollutants relative to broad-leaved deciduous species (Reich 1987; Darrall 1989). Resource (carbon, water, nutrients) acquisition, allocation, and partitioning are affected by exposure to oxidant pollution. In this chapter, resource acquisition refers to plant processes that gain carbon, nutrients, or water. Allocation is the redistribution of a resource to another plant part separated spatially from point of acquisition to its use (Dickson 1989). Resource partitioning is the chemical repackaging of carbon, nutrients, or water for metabolism, detoxification, reparation, or respiratory functions and may include compounds that are produced and stored until use within a plant part. The total pool of resources obtained, the cost of tissue maintenance, and the total pool of resources retained with environmental stressors ultimately determines the perceived stress and fate of the individual (Fig. 6.1).
