Indirect effects and the Long-term Risks of Air Pollution on Eastern North American Forest Ecosystems: Pathological Problems

1993

Chappelka, A.H. (Auburn University, Alabama (USA). School of Forestry)

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.
