Handbook for Assessment of Foliar Ozone Injury on Vegetation in the National Parks: Revised 2nd Edition
Kohut R. 2007. Handbook for Assessment of Foliar Ozone Injury on Vegetation in the National Parks: Revised 2nd Edition. Cornell University. Ithaca, NY
This handbook is intended to provide both the broad background and the specific information necessary to design and implement a field program to assess the presence and extent of foliar ozone injury on plants. It provides guidance to managers and biologists who are interested in determining whether ozone is injuring plants in their park and assessing the extent of ozone injury in a given year and over time. It describes in detail a number of assessment programs that may be implemented to address specific management objectives. The handbook begins by providing an understanding of how plants, ozone exposure and the exposure environment interact to produce foliar injury. It describes and illustrates various kinds of foliar injury produced by ozone and identifies ozone-sensitive species that are most useful in field surveys. It has been revised based on input from field practitioners.
