Abstract:Urbanization modifies ecosystem conditions and evolutionary processes.
This includes air pollution, mostly as tropospheric ozone (O3), which
contributes to the decline of urban and peri-urban forests. A notable
case are fir(Abies religiosa) forests in the peripheral mountains
southwest of Mexico City, which have been severely affected by O3
pollution since the 1970s. Interestingly, some young individuals
exhibiting minimal O3—related damage have been observed within a zone
of significant O3 exposure. Using thi… Show more
