Abstract

The DO₃SE (Deposition of O₃ for Stomatal Exchange) model is an established tool for estimating ozone (O₃) deposition, stomatal flux and impacts to a variety of vegetation types across Europe. It has been embedded within the EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) photochemical model to provide a policy tool capable of relating the flux-based risk of vegetation damage to O₃ precursor emission scenarios for use in policy formulation. A key limitation of regional flux-based risk assessments has been the assumption that soil water deficits are not limiting O₃ flux due to the unavailability of evaluated methods for modelling soil water deficits and their influence on stomatal conductance (g_sto), and subsequent O₃ flux. This paper describes the development and evaluation of a method to estimate soil moisture status and its influence on g_sto for a variety of forest tree species.
