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

Skelly, J.M. (Pennsylvania State University, University Park (USA))
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.

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.
