Abstract

A new parameterisation of ozone uptake by vegetation, based on the observational determination of functional dependence of stomala ozone conductances on environmental parameters such as temperature, wind speed, top-of-canopy ozone concentrations, water vapour pressure deficit, and soil water content, is proposed. Measurements of ozone fluxes and related parameters have been made using micrometeorological methods over wheat in the Po river plain, Northern Italy. The results show the discrepancy between the AOT40 index, based on the ozone concentration cumulated function over the season, and the cumulated stomatal ozone flux. The new parameterisation proposes a corrected AOT index, which takes environmental and plant physiological effects into account. The corrected AOT is in agreement with the cumulated stomatal ozone uptake flux.
