“…Ozone reduces the photosynthetic capacity of large Pinus ponderosa (Coyne and Bingham, 1981;Grulke, 1999) and seedlings (Clark et al, 1995), which can lead to reduced carbon gain (Green and Wright, 1977;Weber et al, 1991), reduced biomass (Bytnerowicz and Grulke, 1992;Weber et al, 1994), and alterations in carbon allocation (Hogsett et al, 1989;Grulke et al, 1998;Tingey et al, 1976;Andersen et al, 1991). Trees from heavily polluted areas exhibited reductions in radial growth, missing rings or altered ring formation compared to trees at less polluted sites (Arbaugh et al, 1999;Miller et al, 1997;Miller and McBride, 1998;Miller, 1993).…”
