The potential adverse effects of environmental change on agriculture have motivated considerable public research on this topic. Assessments of the economic consequences of such effects have also been performed as input into the regulatory process. As with any applied bioeconomic analysis, the credibility of these economic assessments is dependent on the quality of the natural science and other data on the pollutant in question. The ability of economists to assess the agricultural effects of one important pollutant, tropospheric ozone, has been improved by the recently completed National Crop Loss Assessment Network (NCLAN). The structure, protocois and initial plant science findings of this US Environmental Protection Agency program have been presented. In a related article, we reported the economic consequences of those preliminary ozone crop yield effects.
