Abstract
Interest in characterizing patterns of tropospheric ozone in continental landscapes has increased significantly in the last decade because of the documented effects of this trace gas on both human health in urban areas and vegetation in terrestrial ecosystems (EPA 1986). More recently, concern about the responsiveness of forest ecosystems to ozone (McLaughlin 1985; Johnson and Taylor 1989) has prompted similar analyses applicable to remote, forest landscapes (Evans et al. 1983; Taylor and Norby 1985; Meagher et al. 1987; Pinkerton and Lefohn 1987; Lefohn and Pinkerton 1988; Logan 1989). Few of these studies are in forested areas of greatest ecological concern, and many of the sites are not investigating the influence of air pollution stress on the long-term productivity and biogeochemistry of forest stands. Moreover, most sites were not originally selected with the intent of comparing patterns of ozone concentrations among a variety of forest stands that differ in climate, air quality, vegetation cover, and elevation. The Integrated Forest Study (IFS) is unusual in providing an array of sites with many of these contrasting characteristics.
