Surface ozone (O3) poses significant threats to public health, agricultural crops, and plants in natural ecosystems. Global warming is likely to increase future O3 mainly by altering atmospheric photochemical reactions and enhancing biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions. To assess the impacts of the future 1.5 K climate target on O3 concentrations and ecological O3 exposure in China, numerical simulations were conducted using the CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) model during April–October 2018. Ecological O3 exposure was estimated using six indices (i.e., M7, M24, N100, SUM60, W126, and AOT40f). The results show that the temperature rise increases the MDA8 O3 (maximum daily eight-hour average O3) concentrations by ∼3 ppb and the number of O3 exceedance days by 10–20 days in the North China Plain (NCP), Yangtze River Delta (YRD), and Sichuan Basin (SCB) regions. All O3 exposure indices show substantial increases. M24 and M7 in eastern and southern China will rise by 1–3 ppb and 2–4 ppb, respectively. N100 increases by more than 120 h in the surrounding regions of Beijing. SUM60 increases by greater than 9 ppm h−1, W126 increases by greater than 15 ppm h−1 in Shaanxi and SCB, and AOT40f increases by 6 ppm h−1 in NCP and SCB. The temperature increase also promotes atmospheric oxidation capacity (AOC) levels, with the higher AOC contributed by OH radicals in southern China but by NO3 radicals in northern China. The change in the reaction rate caused by the temperature increase has a greater influence on O3 exposure and AOC than the change in BVOC emissions.
