Abstract

Biological injuries to forest ecosystems in two lateral valleys of Valtellina (Italy) have been studied. The selected areas are characterized by different forest novel decline symptoms and ozone concentration levels. Analyses of meteorological and air quality data collected by fixed and mobile stations located in the two valleys are presented. Ozone concentration has been measured both by passive samplers and continues analyzers and the ozone vertical gradient in one valley has been determined. In order to investigate the relation between emission sources, ambient ozone levels and plant biological injuries, a modeling research project has been started. As preliminary results the wind field obtained by the application of two diagnostic meteorological models, MINERVE and CALMET, and the computation of the biogenic emissions are presented. Some examples of spatial distribution and temporal trend of the most important pollutants emitted by plants are discussed.
