Zusammenfassung: | Variation in response of different genetic varieties of Pinus ponderosa to elevated tropospheric ozone were studied. TREGRO model simulations over a three year period for eastern and western varieties of this species exposed to five different O sub(3) levels showed that growth of the western variety was reduced more than that of the eastern variety. The greater resistance of the eastern variety to elevated O sub(3) probably is due to lower stomatal conductance and greater carbon allocation to below ground tissues. Regional assessments of the effects of O sub(3) on tree species should take genetic variations into account. |
