Evaluation of simulated ozone effects in forest ecosystems against biomass damage estimates from fumigation experiments

The study found that four existing ozone damage functions used in terrestrial biosphere models failed to accurately reproduce observed ozone-induced biomass reductions in young European trees. However, the authors achieved a good agreement between observed and modelled damage by developing linear, plant-functional-type-specific dose-response relationships through the re-parameterisation of photosynthetically based injury functions.

• Four previously published ozone damage functions used in terrestrial biosphere models were unable to accurately simulate observed biomass dose-response relationships, resulting in significant over- or underestimations of the ozone effect.
• The authors successfully simulated observed whole-tree biomass responses across 23 experiments by re-parameterising photosynthetically based injury functions to create linear, plant-functional-type-specific dose-response relationships.
