This report is in a portable document format (PDF) and contains an assessment of foliar injury from ozone for vegetation sites in Mesa Verde National Park. File size: 262.9 KB The original assessment employed a biologically-based method to evaluate risk of foliar injury from ozone at parks in the 32 Vital Signs Networks. It was conducted in 2004 and used ozone exposure and soil moisture data for 1995 through 1999. This reassessment uses monitoring data for ozone from 2000 through 2004 to update the risk assessments for selected parks. 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.
