Ozone in the lower atmosphere is known to impact human and plant health. This type of ozone, commonly known as ground level ozone is created when sunlight interacts with nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Ground level ozone damages plants, causing a decrease in photosynthesis and plants’ ability to control water loss through leaves, known as stomatal conductance. It is not known how different crops respond to elevated ozone exposure. Here we look at crops and investigate how ozone harms the plants photosynthesis capabilities, and the ability to control water loss through plant stomata. We ran a land model simulation across various small scale sites in the U.S., simulating future negative impacts elevated ozone may have on different crops. These simulations allow us to see negative impacts high concentrations ozone has on crops photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, along with the broader impacts it has on the agricultural industry.
