Emerging challenges of ozone impacts on Asian plants: Actions are needed to protect ecosystem health
Ozone concentrations near the land surface are rising in Asia while they are declining or stagnating in Europe and North America. Ozone is the most widespread air pollutant negatively affecting vegetation, and its increased concentrations pose a major threat to food quality and production and other...
