The Use of Critical Levels for Determining Plant Response to Ozone in Europe and in North America by Robert C. Musselman, Allen S. Lefohn

“…It appears that cumulative exposure-based metrics, particularly when implemented with a quantification of peak concentrations and environmental variables, such as a drought index, are currently the most useful to relate O3 to vegetation response. Because data are unavailable to quantify detoxification potential of vegetation, effective flux models are not available to determine plant response to O3.…”
