Biomonitoring plots at the ozone monitoring stations at Great Smoky Mountains National Park - 1985 survey results. Final report
High ambient-ozone levels recorded in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the continued development in the valleys north and east of the Park have prompted concern about air-quality-related values in the Park. The goal of this research was to establish biomonitoring plots near four ozone monitoring stations in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A total of seven plots was established, using four tree species known to be sensitive to air pollution. Foliar injury was evaluated on 115 trees in August and September 1985. No symptoms of ozone injury were observed. The report provides a detailed summary of the data collected in 1985, descriptions of the procedures used in evaluating trees, and directions to the study sites.
