Impact of tropospheric ozone on plants and soil properties: A review
Authors
Sumant Kumar
Abstract
This review article elucidates the impact of tropospheric ozone on plants, crops, and soil properties. Exposure to ozone impacts growth, quality and productivity of plants. Ozone toxicity causes visible and physiological damage to the plant as well as change in soil properties. Visible injury is responsible for chlorosis, changes in pigmentation, and premature senescence of vegetation. Physiological injury causes reduction in photosynthesis, lowered carbon transport to the roots, enhance the turnover of antioxidant, enhance dark reaction, damage to reproductive processes, and reduce decomposition of early successional communities. Ozone exposure impacts stomatal conductance through cellular damage, specifically palisade mesophyll cells. Ozone toxicity also alters the timing and amount of carbon fluxes to the soils as well as emission of methane. Biotic and abiotic decomposition changes after its exposure in long-term.
