In 1994, the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) and Forest Health Monitoring programs of the U.S. Forest Service implemented a national ozone (O₃) biomonitoring program designed to address specific questions about the area and percent of forest land subject to levels of O₃ pollution that may negatively affect the forest ecosystem. This is the first and only nationally consistent effort to monitor O₃ stress on the forests of the United States. This report provides background information on O₃ and its effects on trees and ecosystems, and describes the rationale behind using sensitive bioindicator plants to detect O₃ stress and assess the risk of probable O₃ impact. Also included are a description of field methods, analytic techniques, estimation procedures, and how to access, use and interpret the ozone bioindicator attributes and data outputs such as the national ozone risk map.
