Following the success of the conference
‘Ozone and Plants’ held in Beijing in May
2014, a follow-up conference will be held in
Italy this year. Ozone pollution continues to
be a serious issue for terrestrial ecosystems
and plant health. Progress has been achieved
by controlling the emission of precursors in
some areas of the world, but much remains
to be done. This conference will allow all
experts in the interactions between ozone
and plant ecosystems to meet and discuss
the state of the art and the strategies
for continuous improvements.
