Competition, diversity, and ozone impacts on ecosystem processes
3101 Croul Hall Department of Earth System Science, Irvine, CA, United StatesTropospheric ozone is a serious air-pollutant, with large impacts on plant function. I will discuss the relationships among ozone’s impacts on plant metabolism and competitive interactions among tree species. I will present results suggesting that tropospheric ozone, although it damages plant metabolism, does not necessarily reduce ecosystem processes such as productivity or carbon sequestration because [...]
