Workshop on Climate & Air (Oct. 2009)
Co-benefits for reducing surface ozone concentrations for both air pollution and climate change policies
Stomatal O3 flux: CC factors incorporated
O3 and CC impacts on vegetation are
complex: Non-linearity of interactions
Scaling up
Impacts of ozone on vegetation and feedbacks to climate need to be included in global climate models in order to better predict consequences for C sequestration and hydrological cycles
More large scale, long-term multi-component field studies required (including for parameterisation and validation of model components)
