Assessing the Risk of Foliar Injury from Ozone on Vegetation in Parks in the Upper Columbia Basin Network
Air Resources Division. 2004. Assessing the Risk of Foliar Injury from Ozone on Vegetation in Parks in the Upper Columbia Basin Network. National Park Service
This assessment employs a biologically-based method to evaluate the risk of foliar injury from ozone at parks within the 32 Vital Signs Networks. The assessment allows resource managers at each park to better understand the risk of ozone injury to vegetation within their park and permits them to make a better informed decision regarding the need to monitor the impacts of ozone on plants. This introduction provides an overview of the risk assessment process and the data used. It also provides a summary of the results of risk assessments for sites within the network. The CRMO reassessment (2006) uses monitoring data for ozone from 2000 through 2004 to update the risk assessments for Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. Together the two assessments provide insight to the changes in ozone exposure over a ten-year period, and examine how the changes may have altered the risk of ozone injury to plants.
