Canopy stomatal ozone (O3) flux (Fst,O3) in a plantation ofSchima superba, an ecologically and economically important evergreen pioneer tree species in subtropical China, was quantified based on sap flow measurements during a 2-year period. MeanFst,O3and accumulatedFst,O3(AFst0) were significantly higher in wet seasons from April to September (4.62 nmol m− 2s− 1and 35.37 mmol m− 2, respectively) than in dry seasons from October to March (3.90 nmol m− 2s− 1and 24.15 mmol m− 1, respectively), yet comparable between the 2 years of the experiment, being 4.23 nmol m− 2s− 1and 58.23 mmol m− 2in April 2013–March 2014 and 4.29 nmol m− 2s− 1and 60.80 mmol m− 2in April 2014–March 2015, respectively. At the diurnal scale,Fst,O3generally peaked in the early to middle afternoon hours (13:00–15:00), while the maximum stomatal conductance (Gst,O3) typically occurred in the middle to late morning hours (09:00–11:00). Monthly integratedAFst0 reached the maximum in July, although accumulated O3exposure (SUM0) was highest in October. Seasonally or yearly, the accumulated O3doses, either exposure-based or flux-based, notably exceeded the currently adopted critical thresholds for the protection of forest trees. These results, on the one hand, demonstrated the decoupling between the stomatal uptake of O3and its environmental exposure level; on the other hand, indicated the potential O3risk forS. superbain the experimental site. Therefore, the present study endorses the use of sap flow measurements as a feasible tool for estimatingFst,O3, and the transition from the exposure-based toward flux-based metrics for assessing O3risk for forest trees. Further studies are urgently needed to relate stomatal O3uptake doses with tree growth reductions for an improved understanding of O3effects on trees under natural conditions.
