Jernigan JW and Leibfreid T. 2024. Monitoring ozone and associated foliar injury at Cumberland Piedmont Network parks: Protocol narrative—version 2.0. Science Report. NPS/SR—2024/106. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2303228
Ozone is a naturally occurring gas that can also be generated in reactions with anthropogenically created nitrogen oxides. While stratospheric ozone prevents ultraviolet radiation from making its way to the Earth’s surface, tropospheric ozone that is in higher than naturally occurring concentrations can have harmful effects on the health of people and plants. Not all plant species are susceptible to ozone injury, but the several species that are susceptible do exist in Cumberland Piedmont Network Parks. This protocol presents sampling designs and methods for assessing ozone impacts to susceptible plants in Cumberland Piedmont Network parks.
