Ozone

  • Chapter
Trace Gas Exchange in Forest Ecosystems

Part of the book series: Tree Physiology ((TREE,volume 3))

Abstract

Analysis of the impact of ozone (O3) on tree physiology and ecology requires the knowledge of O3 formation, transport and uptake by the foliage (i.e., adsorption onto external leaf/plant surfaces and absorption or flux through the stomata into the leaf mesophyll). Within the canopy the leaves are the primary sites of O3 deposition, with the stomata representing the interface for the O3 taken up from the atmosphere into the tree. Analysis of O3 uptake by plants is important because only O3 absorbed through the stomata into the leaf mesophyll will directly affect biochemical, physiological and growth processes.
