Abstract
The seedlings of armand pine (Pinus armand Franch.) were applied to exposure, alone or in combination, to charcoal filtered air (CF) or ozone (O3) at 300±15 nl/l(ppb) for 8 h a day, 6 days a week, and simulated rain of pH 6.8, 3.0 or 2.3, six times a week, alone and in combination, for 14 weeks from June 15 to September 20, 1993. No significant interactive effects of O3 and simulated acid rain were observed on chlorophyll contents, carbon allocation and biomass accumulation of the seedlings in the present study. The O3 caused reductions in biomass accumulation of whole-plant and below-ground parts, but not that of above-ground parts without an acute visible foliar injury. At the same time, the O3 reduced R/S ratio, but raised F/C ratio. Therefore, O3 also altered carbon allocation pattern. On the other hand, chlorophyll contents were increased by simulated acid rain, but other determined parameters were not altered.
