Direct and Indirect effects and the Long-term Risks of Air Pollution on Forest Ecosystems:

Tropospheric ozone is the most important single air pollutant of importance to forests in eastern United States. Both broadleaf and needled trees may suffer premature foliar senescence following even low ozone exposure years. Genetic sensitivity within species is likewise prevalent.

Air pollutants cause subtle changes in natural resistance that can prediscope plants to insect attack. The majority of reports in the area of plant-pollutant-insect interactions have been correlative in nature. In the last ten years, there has emerged a growing body of literature, the vast majority with herbaceous crops, reporting on cause-effect relationships among insects and their hosts.

Visible chlorotic injury and reduced foliar biomass are found in Pinus ponderosa and P. jefreyi in the mountains of southern California and the west slope of Sierra Nevada. Reduced tree growth and accelerated rates of forest succession has been documented in this area, with ozone resistant, shade tolerant species replacing P. ponderosa. There may also be some interactions among ozone, drought stress, insects and fungal pathogens.

Air pollutants such as ozone may affect tree host-pathogen interactions by altering plant tissue susceptibility, plant resistance, pathogen virulence and inoculum density. Ozone has been shown to weaken trees in natural stands and increase their susceptibility to invasion by plant pathogens, such as Heterobasidion annosum. Ozone has also been shown to enhance disease development by fungi that are normally saprophytic in nature.

Bytnerowicz, A. (USDA Forest Service, Riverside, CA (USA). Pacific Southwest Research Station)
Physiological processes of western trees are effected by ozone at concentration over 80 ppb, depending on the duration of the exposures and environmental conditions. At a single fascicle level short-term ozone exposures can cause reduction, no change or increase of stomatal conductance and net assimilation rate. Two seasons of exposures at twice level ozone concentrations caused a significant reduction of stomatal conductance and pigment concentrations in foliage.

Innes, J.L. (Swiss Federal Institute for Forest Snow and Landscape Research, Birmensdorf (Switzerland))
Considerable uncertainty has surrounded the relationship between forest growth and forest declines in Europe. Although growth decreases have been recorded in several years, by the end of the 1980s, increment at many sites had reached a level higher than any previously recorded. Fertilization by carbon dioxide, favourable climatic conditions and better stand management may all have contributed.
