Abstract

summary Seedlings of Betula pubescens, Betula verrucosa and Alnus incana were grown for 50 days in growth chambers at four ozone concentrations (25, 35, 53 and 82 nl 1 −1 ) fot 7 h day −1 . Shoot and root dry weight decreased almost linearly with increasing ozone concentration in the three species. Shoot/root and leaf/stem dry weight ratios were unaffected by ozone concentration, while leaf senescence was significantly enhanced by increasing the concentration. Visible ozone injury was observed at 53 nl 1 −1 and above.
