Station Current levels of the air pollutant ozone lower yields
of susceptible crops and impair forest health in many regions of
the United States and elsewhere worldwide (Booker et al. 2009;
et al. 2001). There continues to be a need for research and
assessment of ozone effects on crops and forests to determine
severities of impact, estimate economic costs, project future
effects, and possibly improve plant tolerance to ozone The
NE-1030 project facilitates collaboration and communication
among scientists in the United States and other countries
worldwide who are actively involved in research on plant
responses to ozone. The project (under various designations) has
been active within USDA-CSREES for 30+ years. Scientists
involved with the project have authored more than 500 scientific
publications, provided the scientific underpinni
