Abstract
The objectives of this study were to clarify the influences of nitrogen (N) load on the growth and photosynthetic responses of Quercus serrataseedlings to O3 and to obtain basic data for evaluating the critical levels of O3 for protecting Q. serrataforests in Japan. The effects of O3 and/or N load on growth and hotosynthetic activity of Q. serrataseedlings were investigated during the two growing seasons. Two-year-old seedlings were assigned to 12 experimental treatments, which were comprised of the combination of four gas treatments (charcoal-filtered air and three levels of O3 at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 times ambient oncentration) and three N treatments (0, 20 and 50 kg ha-1 year-1). During the second growing season, no ignificant interactive effects of O3 and N load on the growth and net photosynthetic rate of the seedlings were detected. Threrfore, we concluded that N supply to the soil at ≤50 kg ha-1 year-1 does not significantly influence the growth and photosynthetic responses of Q. serrataseedlings to O3. Based on the O3 exposure-response relationships for the whole-plant growth of the seedlings, the critical level of O3 for Q. serratawas estimated to be approximately 36 nmol mol-1 as the average 15-h O3 concentration during the one growing season.
