Adequacy of forestry data in assessing the impact of ozone: A national perspective
Regional-scale assessment of the effects of ozone on forest ecosystems involves a diffuse array of sources distributed across tens of thousands of square kilometers. Exposure characteristics have short-term dynamics (hours or days), but effects may be manifest only after years of exposure. Discussion of the adequacy of forestry data for assessing the impact of ozone on forests from the national perspective requires first a discussion of the process by which such an assessment might be done, and secondly, discussion of the other types of data necessary to permit differentiation of forest impacts. This paper addresses a variety of approaches to assessment of forest impacts, discusses the basic data requirements necessary for an assessment of ozone impacts on forests, and provides an assessment of data availability on a national scale. 24 refs., 4 figs.
