Whole-tree water use efficiency is decreased by ambient ozone and not affected by O3-induced stomatal sluggishness.
Steady-state and dynamic gas exchange responses to ozone visible injury were investigated in an ozone-sensitive poplar clone under field conditions. The results were translated into whole tree water loss and carbon assimilation by comparing trees exposed to ambient ozone and trees treated with the o...
