Abstract
AbstractA computer model was developed for estimating the uptake of sulfur dioxide (SO2) by forests. Submodels are used to calculate atmospheric diffusion immediately above and within the forest canopy, and into the sink areas within the trees. The program implementing the model is general and can be used with only minor changes for many gaseous pollutants.Simulations with SO2 sources above the canopy indicate that moderate amounts of SO2 can be absorbed by forests during periods of favorable weather. Simulations with sources inside the canopy suggest that SO2 uptake can be increased while tolerable levels of SO2 concentrations are maintained in the atmosphere within the forest.
