Air-pollution injury on Pinus strobus in Cuyahoga National Recreation Area - 1985 survey results. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6412681

Visible symptoms of ozone injury were observed on 97% of the Eastern white pine trees (Pinus strobus) sampled in 1985 from permanent plots at Cuyahoga National Recreation Area. Average injury was low and affected about 2.6% of the needle surface. None of the trees sampled had more than 10% injury. Chlorotic mottle was the most common ozone symptom encountered, followed by fleck injury and tipburn. Symptoms of other injury types were observed in 10% of the needle surfaces sampled. No significant variation among plots was observed in any of the injury symptoms. Total ozone injuries observed at Cuyahoga did not differ significantly from those observed in similar samples at other National Parks.
