Planting trees may be a cost-effective way to reduce ground-level ozone
Ground-level ozone pollution is distinct from the “ozone layer” high in Earth’s atmosphere. Atmospheric ozone protects the planet by absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Pollutants formerly used in refrigerants and aerosol cans have destroyed part of this layer.
But close to the ground, ozone harms plants and animals, including humans. Ground-level ozone forms from nitrous oxides (NOx) and other pollutants released when people burn fossil fuels. Trees absorb both NOx and fully formed ozone.
Trees respond to stressors such as drought or damage from ozone exposure. Grantz and the study’s authors agree that an effective reforestation program would need to use native tree species that grow well locally.
