Based on the one-year observational data of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an urban area of Yuncheng in 2021, the concentration, composition, sources, and ozone-sensitive species of VOCs in four seasons were analyzed. The results showed that the average annual concentration of VOCs was (32.1 ±24.2)×10, i.e., at the national middle level. The seasonal concentrations of VOCs were in the order of: winter (46.3×10)> autumn (35.5×10)> spring (25.6×10)> summer (21.2×10). Alkanes and OVOCs were the most dominant VOCs compounds, accounting for 69.0%-80.4% of TVOCs in Yuncheng. Affected by changes in source emissions, the proportion of OVOCs was higher in spring and summer (41%-43%), whereas the proportion of alkanes was higher in autumn and winter (42%-43%). Vehicle exhaust, LPG/NG, industrial production, and combustion sources were identified as the main sources of VOCs in Yuncheng. The largest contributors in the four seasons were vehicle exhaust (28.5% in spring), secondary + combustion sources (29.0% in summer), LPG/NG sources (30.4% in autumn), and coal combustion (27.3% in winter). The ozone formation was located in the transitional regime in summer and in the VOC-limited regime in other seasons. Ozone production was more sensitive to alkenes (isoprene, ethylene, and propene), OVOCs (acetaldehyde and propanal), and aromatics (xylene, toluene, and benzene). Winter was more sensitive to ethylene, and the other seasons were more sensitive to isoprene. The primary emission sources related to these sensitive species should be reduced to achieve the goal of air quality improvement.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis alleviates ozone injury in ozone-tolerant poplar clone but not in ozone-sensitive poplar clone.

Electronic address:

Tropospheric ozone (O) is a typical air pollutant with harmful effects on plants, whereas arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous plant symbionts that enhance plant resistance to various abiotic stresses. However, whether AM symbiosis decreases plant O sensitivity and what the underlying mechanisms are remain unclear. In this study, O-tolerant poplar clone 107 and O-sensitive poplar clone 546 were used as test plants.

The assessment of Visible Foliar Symptoms (VFS) is commonly adopted by forest monitoring programs to evaluate ozone impact on vegetation. The occurrence of ozone VFS may differ among individuals of the same species at the same site, and within leaves of the same individual. The aim of this study was to identify site and plant characteristics as well as functional leaf traits associated with the occurrence and severity of VFS in Viburnum lantana (an ozone-sensitive species) and at the scale of an individual site.
