ICP VEGETATION 29 th session WGE Integrated science for our changing world www.ceh.ac.uk Workshop on Climate & Air (Oct. 2009) Co-benefits for reducing surface ozone concentrations for both air pollution and climate change policies Stomatal O 3 flux: CC factors incorporated O 3 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)
