| Abstract | A risk assessment of ozone (O-3) impact on the annual carbon absorption (ACA) of Japanese representative conifers was conducted based on the results of an experimental study, monitoring data of oxidant concentrations and vegetation surveys. The areas with high O-3-induced reduction in ACA did not necessarily correspond to the areas with relatively high O-3-exposure. Widespread distribution of O-3-sensitive tree species such as Pinus densiflora and Larix kaempferi, and high ACA were important factors that induced a high risk of O-3 impact on the ACA. Therefore, we concluded that not only the accumulated O-3-exposure but also the variety of tree habitat, the tree sensitivity to O-3 and the ACA among the tree species must be taken into account to assess the risk of O-3 impact on the ACA of Japanese conifers. The O-3-induced reduction in the total ACA of the three tree species in Japan was estimated to be 0.8%. |
