Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Early-season ozone lowered mature-leaf photosynthesis in all clones.
- Intervention effect Early-season ozone lowered photosynthesis in recently mature leaves only in sensitive Clone 259.
- Intervention effect Midseason ozone lowered photosynthesis in recently mature and mature leaves of sensitive Clone 259.
- Intervention effect Midseason ozone had no effect on recently mature leaf photosynthesis of tolerant Clone 216.
- Intervention effect Late-season photosynthesis in both leaf ages of Clone 216 was lower than in filtered-air controls.
- Intervention effect Ozone decreased mature-leaf photosynthesis in Clone 271.
- Intervention effect Ozone increased or did not affect recently mature-leaf photosynthesis in Clone 271.
- Observation Seedling ozone response patterns resembled clone patterns but were smaller in magnitude.
- Observation Ozone exposed clones showed early leaf abscission.
- Observation Clones 216 and 259 lost more leaf area than Clone 271.
- Intervention effect At the highest ozone treatment, Clone 216 leaf area was 26% below controls by late August.
- Intervention effect At the highest ozone treatment, Clone 259 leaf area was 24% below controls by late August.
- Intervention effect At the highest ozone treatment, Clone 271 leaf area was 9% below controls by late August.
- Intervention effect Ozone reduced whole-tree photosynthesis by 23% in Clone 271.
- Intervention effect Ozone reduced whole-tree photosynthesis by 56% in Clone 259.
- Intervention effect Ozone accompanied a 19% biomass decline in Clone 271.
- Intervention effect Ozone accompanied a 28% biomass decline in Clone 216.
- Intervention effect Ozone accompanied a 47% biomass decline in Clone 259.
- Mechanism Reduced foliage photosynthetic productivity largely determined the ozone impact on biomass.
