Direct Effects of Air Pollution on Forest Ecosystems of Western North America
1993
Peterson, D.L. (University of Washington, Seattle (USA))
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.
