The role of peri-urban vegetation in modifying O(3) concentrations has been analyzed in the Madrid region (Spain) using the V200603par-rc1 version of the CHIMERE air quality model. The 3.7 version of the MM5 meteorological model was used to provide meteorological input data to the CHIMERE. The emissions were derived from the EMEP database for 2003. Land use data and the stomatal conductance model included in CHIMERE were modified according to the latest information available for the study area. Two cases were considered for the period April-September 2003: (1) actual land use and (2) a fictitious scenario where El Pardo peri-urban forest was converted to bare-soil. The results show that El Pardo forest constitutes a sink of O(3) since removing this green area increased O(3) levels over the modified area and over down-wind surrounding areas.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21269745</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldantoni, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fagnano, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alfani, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tropospheric ozone effects on chemical composition and decomposition rate of Quercus ilex L. leaves.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Science of the total environment</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Air Pollutants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Air Pollutants: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Air Pollutants: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Air Pollutants: toxicity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atmosphere</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atmosphere: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">carbon cycle</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cellulose</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cellulose: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cellulose: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decaying leaf composition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holm oak leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean area</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nitrogen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nitrogen cycle</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nitrogen: analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nitrogen: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ozone exposure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozone: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozone: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozone: toxicity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Leaves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Leaves: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Leaves: metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus: metabolism</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elsevier B.V.</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">409</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">979-984</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We determined the effects of tropospheric ozone on the chemical composition of Quercus ilex L. leaves and their decomposition, with a view to assessing the influence of ozone on nutrient cycling and the sustainability of Mediterranean holm oak forests. Forming one of the most widespread thermophilous vegetation communities in the area, Q. ilex is a dominant and widespread evergreen oak in the Mediterranean, where concentrations of tropospheric ozone are particularly high. The dynamics of carbon, nitrogen, lignin and cellulose concentrations were monitored for six months during the decomposition of leaves from plants subjected to controlled ozone exposure in open-top chambers. Ozone-exposed leaves, compared to unexposed leaves, showed no significant differences in C, N, lignin and cellulose concentrations prior to the incubation in mesocosms. However, during decomposition, leaves from plants exposed to ozone lost C significantly more slowly and showed a higher C/N ratio than unexposed leaves. Ozone exposure significantly slowed down the decomposition rate, indicating a negative effect of tropospheric ozone on nutrient cycling, which may reduce long-term sustainability of the holm oak forest.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21167557</style></accession-num></record></records></xml>
