Abstract excerpt
Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a phytotoxic air pollutant that impairs photosynthesis. The mechanisms of O3-induced reduction of mesophyll conductance (gm) are not clear. We investigated the interaction of O3 and leaf age on gm by using structural equation modelling (SEM) for two poplar clones (I-214 and Oxford) exposed to three O3 levels (ambient air, AA; 1.5 × AA; 2.0 × AA) in a free-air controlled experiment....
