abstract = {This Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) on the
current state of knowledge of ozone metrics of relevance to
vegetation (TOAR-Vegetation) reports on present-day global
distribution of ozone at over 3300 vegetated sites and the
long-term trends at nearly 1200 sites. TOAR-Vegetation
focusses on three metrics over vegetation-relevant
time-periods across major world climatic zones: M12, the
mean ozone during 08:00–19:59; AOT40, the accumulation of
hourly mean ozone values over 40 ppb during daylight hours,
and W126 with stronger weighting to higher hourly mean
values, accumulated during 08:00–19:59.Although the
density of measurement stations is highly variable across
regions, in general, the highest ozone values (mean,
2010–14) are in mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere,
including southern USA, the Mediterranean basin, northern
India, north, north-west and east China, the Republic of
Korea and Japan. The lowest metric values reported are in
Australia, New Zealand, southern parts of South America and
some northern parts of Europe, Canada and the USA.
Regional-scale assessments showed, for example,
significantly higher AOT40 and W126 values in East Asia
(EAS) than Europe (EUR) in wheat growing areas (p < 0.05),
but not in rice growing areas. In NAM, the dominant trend
during 1995–2014 was a significant decrease in ozone,
whilst in EUR it was no change and in EAS it was a
significant increase.TOAR-Vegetation provides
recommendations to facilitate a more complete global
assessment of ozone impacts on vegetation in the future,
including: an increase in monitoring of ozone and collation
of field evidence of the damaging effects on vegetation; an
investigation of the effects on peri-urban agriculture and
in mountain/upland areas; inclusion of additional pollutant,
meteorological and inlet height data in the TOAR dataset;
where not already in existence, establishing new
region-specific thresholds for vegetation damage and an
innovative integration of observations and modelling
including stomatal uptake of the pollutant.},
