“…Other researchers have reported that both ozone uptake and foliar injury correlate with increased availability of soil water in the forest environment (Davis and Orendovici 2006, Mclaughlin et al 2007, Orendovici et al 2010, Rose and Coulston 2009, Showman 1991, Zhang et al 2010. In this 24-state ozone survey, the field sample is much larger than that of any previous field-based study, and the range of site conditions, from genotype to soil type, is highly variable both in space (Maine to Kansas) and time (1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010).…”

Ozone is a highly toxic air contaminant that has been shown to decrease tree growth and cause signifi cant disturbance to forested ecosystems. Ozone also causes distinct foliar injury symptoms to certain species (bioindicator plants) that can be used to detect and monitor ozone stress (biomonitoring) in the forest environment. In the early 1990s, the U.S. Forest Service, in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, developed and implemented a suite of forest health indicators to respond to emerging demands for a comprehensive assessment of the health of U.S. forests. This report focuses on the states in the Northern Research Station-Forest Inventory and Analysis region, which has the longest record of ozone biomonitoring in the country, from 1994 through 2010. The results of 17 years of ozone injury detection provide indisputable evidence that ozone-induced foliar injury symptoms occur routinely on ozone-sensitive bioindicator plants across much of the forested landscape and in areas previously thought to be relatively ozone free. This report provides state-level information on where ozone stress occurs and whether ozone stress is increasing or decreasing over time. It also provides state-level estimates of the acres of forest land and volume of ozone-susceptible species at risk of ozone impact.

“…Where the effects of pollutants are not severe and where large populations of plants occur over a suitable area, the assessment of injury may be based on the percentage of individuals or leaves that express visible injury (Chappelka et al 2003;Davis and Orendovici 2006). If these conditions do not apply, attention may be directed to the quantitative assessment of injury within individual plants or individual leaves.…”

“…It is also possible to focus attention on the most sensitive members of a population rather than attempt to determine the mean response for the population. As a result, passive monitoring is well suited to the evaluation of natural or extensively managed vegetation areas where variations in the responses of individual plants in a population to pollutant stress can be used as an indicator of response (Lacasse and Treshow 1976;Malhotra and Blauel 1980;Chappelka et al 2003;Davis and Orendovici 2006).…”

“…class 1 wilderness areas), air-quality-related values must be protected from deterioration. Such deterioration includes the occurrence of visible injury attributable to pollutants (Davis and Orendovici 2006). For wilderness areas in the Rocky Mountain region of the USA, Schoettle and Moir (1998) recommended that the acceptable extent of foliar lesions in coniferous and deciduous species should be less than 5% of the leaf area.…”

Rapid quantitative assessment of visible injury to vegetation and visual amenity effects of fluoride air pollution

Quantitative measures of visible injury are proposed for the protection of the aesthetic acceptability and health of ecosystems. Visible indications of air pollutant injury symptoms can be assessed rapidly and economically over large areas of mixed species such as native ecosystems. Reliable indication requires close attention to the criteria for assessment, species selection, and the influence of other environmental conditions on plant response to a pollutant. The estimation of fluoride-induced visible injury in dicotyledonous species may require techniques that are more varied than the measurement of necrosis in linear-leaved monocotyledons and conifers. A scheme is described for quantitative estimates of necrosis, chlorosis and deformation of leaves using an approximately geometric series of injury categories that permits rapid and sufficiently consistent determination and recognises degrees of aesthetic offence associated with foliar injury to plants.

“…The Carpathian Mountain Range was surveyed for O 3 injury on plants over a 10-year period . Davis (2007) and Davis and Orendovici (2006) used foliar O 3 injury symptoms on plants as evidence of O 3 injury to plants in Maine and Pennsylvania. Native bioindicator plants for O 3 were extensively used in forest health monitoring programs over a16-year period in the Eastern USA (Smith et al, , 2008Smith, 2012).…”

a b s t r a c tOzone (O 3 ) levels were assessed for the first time with passive samplers at 10 sites in and around Beijing in summer 2012. Average O 3 concentrations were higher at locations around Beijing than in the city center. Levels varied with site locations and ranged from 22.5 to 48.1 ppb and were highest at three locations. Hourly O 3 concentrations exceeded 40 ppb for 128 h and 80 ppb for 17 h from 2 to 9 in August at one site, where it had a real-time O 3 analyzer. Extensive foliar O 3 injury was found on 19 species of native and cultivated trees, shrubs, and herbs at 6 of the 10 study sites and the other 2 sites without passive sampler. This is the first report of O 3 foliar injury in and around Beijing. Our results warrant an extensive program of O 3 monitoring and foliar O 3 injury assessment in and around Beijing.
