REVIEW OF PLANT RESPONSES TO OZONE POLLUTION

doi:10.17521/cjpe.2007.0150

Abstract

Abstract:

Ozone (O₃) is highly beneficial in many ways, such as filtering ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere, but O₃ at ground level is a serious pollutant. High O₃ concentration causes the damage to plants ranging from minimal visible symptoms to substantial inhibition of productivity, and species- or cultivar-specific responses exist. Interactions between plants and herbivorous insect pests or plant pathogens may be affected by O₃. Decreased carbon flow above- and below-ground in high O₃ environment could significantly decrease biodiversity. Therefore, O₃ will affect terrestrial ecosystems substantially. The following aspects are suggested to be further studied in China: 1) the comparison and selection of plant species or cultivars with high O₃ resistance, 2) the possible methods which can alleviate O₃ damage to plants, 3) O₃ effects on the natural ecosystems in China, and 4) the positive function of vegetation in decreasing O₃ pollution.

Key words: ozone, assimilation, photosynthate allocation, global change, pollution
