Tropospheric ozone (O 3) triggers physiological changes in leaves that affect carbon source
strength leading to decreased carbon allocation below-ground, thus affecting roots and root …

The impact of chronic free air ozone (O 3) exposure and belowground pathogen stress on
growth and total biomass development of young beech trees (Fagus sylvatica L.) was …

Forest soils are an important but under-studied part of forest ecosystems. The effects of O 3
on below-ground processes in a mature forest have only received limited attention so far. In …

Plant growth largely depends on microbial community structure and function in the
rhizosphere. In turn, microbial communities in the rhizosphere rely on carbohydrates …

Beech seedlings (Fagus sylvatica L.) were exposed to episodes of O3 in environmentally
controlled growth chambers during one growing season. Three treatments were applied …

In a lysimeter study with young beech trees, the effects of elevated ozone concentration on
the decomposition and fate of nitrogen in 15N‐labeled leaf litter were analyzed after one …

To know effects of elevated ozone (eO3) response to beech (Fagus crenata) and oak
(Quercus mongolica var. crispula) saplings, focusing on shoot elongation and leaf nutrient …

Young trees of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) were exposed in a phytotron to different
levels of ozone and CO2 under the climatic simulation of one vegetation period. High ozone …

The increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and tropospheric ozone (O3)
concentrations has affected forest ecosystems both above and below ground. A high dose of …

In the Kranzberg forest near Freising (Germany) a novel “Free-Air Canopy O 3 Exposure”
system has been employed for analysing O 3-induced responses from sub-cellular to …
