Scaling
up physiological responses of loblolly pine to ambient ozone exposure under
natural weather variation. Chpt. 23, pp.407-428 In: R. A. Mickler and S. Fox (eds.), The Productivity and Sustainability of Southern Forest Ecosystems in a Changing Environment. Springer, New York. 892p.
Ambient ozone effects on physiological processes of loblolly pine are
simulated with hourly time step simulations in a soil-plant model
(UTM) to
generate annual stem wood increment responses. These stem wood responses
are passed to a stand dynamics model (FORET) to simulate
the height of
dominant and co-dominant trees at a 25-year index age. Site index responses
are forwarded to a plantation management model (PTAEDA2),
which predicts
a 6% reduction in lumber yield from ambient ozone. This scaling up
approach is used in an expanded form in the Integrated Modeling Project.
