Understanding the Role of Ozone Stress in Altering Belowground Processes

  • Chapter
Trends in European Forest Tree Physiology Research

Part of the book series: Tree Physiology ((TREE,volume 2))

Abstract

Forested ecosystems are comprised of tremendous biological diversity and functional complexity both above and belowground. Soil ecosystems are known to contain thousands of species, with many more that have not yet been identified. Soil heterotrophic organisms depend on green plants for their energy, while autotrophs depend on soil heterotrophs for processing and cycling nutrients that are needed for continued growth. Together, heterotrophs and autotrophs form a complex web of interacting entities, the balance of which is always changing as ecosystems change in response to stress.
