Abstract
An eddy-covariance system combined with a semi-mechanistic model was used to analyze variations in gross primary productivity (GPP) and to simulate the impact of ozone (O3) on GPP under different levels O3 concentrations over a winter wheat field in Nanjing. The results showed that GPP was higher during the middle of the growth period and low during the early and late growth periods, reaching a maximum of 40 μmol·(m2·s)-1. Using high and low ozone sensitivity settings,O3-damage in 150, 100, 50 nL·L-1 and control treatment (CK) reduced GPP by -72%, -36%, -6%, and -10%, and by -13%, -6%, -1%, and -2%, respectively. These results provide a scientific basis for formulating defense strategies for O3 damage to crops.
