Effects of Ozone on Vegetation at Acadia National Park
Eckert RT. 1989. Effects of Ozone on Vegetation at Acadia National Park
'The program is based on the collection of visible and cellular-level ozone damage symptoms on eastern white pine and other species'. A proposal to develop a six year program (Aug. 1989 - Sept. 1994) for the study of ozone effects on vegetation, particularly white pine and red spruce, at Acadia National Park. Project will: fumigate native plants with ozone, plant a biomonitoring garden, establish permanent plots, and conduct a genetic diversity analysis. Goals are to develop a baseline data set for plant sensitivity to ozone; determine relative ozone sensitivity of representative plants in Acadia; and establish permanent plots for long-term study of the effects of ozone. Rare species will be a major focus of the study. Gives history of ozone research at Acadia National Park. /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/
