Bytnerowicz, Andrzej; Arbaugh, Michael J.; Schilling, Susan L., technical coordinators. 1998. Proceedings of the international symposium on air pollution and climate change effects on forest ecosystems; 1996 February 5-9; Riverside, CA. Gen. Tech. Rep. PSW-GTR-166. Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; 332 p. The purpose of the International Symposium on Air Pollution and Climate Change Effects on Forest Ecosystems held February 5-9, 1996 in Riverside, California, was to summarize results of several years of scientific collaboration between the United States and European specialists about air pollution and climate change effects in Central European and North American forests. More than 40 technical presentations given by scientists and forest managers from the United States and Central Europe were divided into 5 sessions discussing mechanisms of air pollution and climate change effects on plants; air pollution status of forests; results from several gradient and case studies on the effects of air pollution/climate change on forests; information on forest health in several Central European countries; and information regarding photosynthetic active radiation measurements and their use in forest health monitoring. Retrieval Terms: effects on forests, monitoring, nitrogen deposition, ozone, sulfur dioxide Technical Coordinators Andrzej Bytnerowicz is Ecologist, Michael J. Arbaugh is Statistician, and Susan L. Schilling is Computer Programmer with the Atmospheric Deposition Effects in Western Forest Ecosystems Research Unit at the Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, 4955 Canyon Crest Dr., Riverside, CA 92507.

Impacts of air pollution and climate change on forest ecosystems--emerging research needs.
Outcomes from the 22nd meeting for Specialists in Air Pollution Effects on Forest Ecosystems "Forests under Anthropogenic Pressure--Effects of Air Pollution, Climate Change and Urban Development", September 10-16, 2006, Riverside, CA, are summarized. Tropospheric or ground-level ozone (O3) is still the phytotoxic air pollutant of major interest. Challenging issues are how to make O3 standards o...
متن کاملAdvances of air pollution science: from forest decline to multiple-stress effects on forest ecosystem services.
Over the past 20 years, the focus of forest science on air pollution has moved from forest decline to a holistic framework of forest health, and from the effects on forest production to the ecosystem services provided by forest ecosystems. Hence, future research should focus on the interacting factorial impacts and resulting antagonistic and synergistic responses of forest trees and ecosystems....

According to the reports of the International Panel Climate Change (IPCC) there is no doubt about climate change occurring. All ecosystems on the earth have being concerned by the effects of climate change. Urmia lake basin and its rivers exposed to numerous anthropogenic stressors such as hydrological, morphological, connectivity and water quality pressures. The main objective of this study is...
متن کاملPreface to the IUFRO RG7.01 special section "Global Challenges of Air Pollution and Climate Change to Forests".
Since the 1980’s, within the Geneva Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, European countries have joined their efforts to abate atmospheric acid pollution. Nevertheless, nitrogen emissions and depositions remain significant under ongoing climate change. Nitrogen atmospheric deposition is known to severely impact ecosystem functioning by influencing soil biogeochemistry, nutrient...
