Abstract

Understanding the influence of ozone, CO₂, and changing climatic regimes on basic plant physiological processes is essential for predicting the response of forest ecosystems. To understand the relationships among these interacting factors, in the face of genetic and other environmental variability, requires a means of synthesis. Physiological process modeling provides one such tool: it allows the integration of diverse information from research, reflects the interactions among variables, and provides a direction for future research.
