Abstract: We examined the effects of ambient ozone, at the somma of Lake Mashu in northern Japan, on the growth and photosynthetic traits of two common birch species in Japan (mountain birch and white birch). Seedlings of the two birch species were grown in open-top chambers and were exposed to charcoal-filtered ambient air (CF) or non-filtered ambient air (NF) at the somma of Lake Mashu during the growing season in 2009. For the mountain birch, ambient ozone significantly increased the ratio of aboveground dry mass to belowground dry mass (TIR ratio), although no difference in the whole-plant biomass was observed between the treatments. For the white birch, in contrast, ozone exposure at ambient level did not decrease in growth and photosynthesis. These results suggest that ambient O-3 at the somma of Lake Mashu may shift the allocation of biomass to above-ground rather than below-ground in the mountain birch. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
