“…Mammals are considered to be the highest form of life in the forest ecosystem. However, under elevated exposure, O 3 markedly affects their lung tissue [32,33] and several hematological parameters [34] including decreases in red blood cells [35] and an increase in the possibility of death [19,36,37]. On the regional scale, relationships between O 3 exposure, and diversity and abundance of small mammals, could be useful for analyzing causative effect of O 3 on forest ecosystems in general.…”

The presented study aimed to explore the relationships between ambient ozone (O3) and tree defoliation, specific diversity, and abundance of soil microarthropods, stream macroinvertebrates, and small mammals (mainly rodents) in order to test the hypothesis that changes in the considered objects of the forest ecosystem could be related to changes in ambient O3, concentration of which is below critical level. The observations were carried out from 1994 at three integrated monitoring stations. The obtained data revealed that only peak O3 concentrations (from 125–215 μg·m-3) had significant effect on changes in the considered components of forest biota.
