It is estimated that 49% of forests (17 million km(2)) will be exposed to damaging concentrations of tropospheric O-3 by 2100. Global forest area at risk from S deposition may reach 5.9 million km(2) by 2050, despite SO2 emission reductions of 48% in North America and 25% in Europe. Although SO2 levels have decreased, emissions of NOx are little changed, or have increased slightly. in some regions, the molar SO4/NO3 ratio in precipitation has switched from 2/1 to near 1/1 during the past two decades. Coincidentally, pattern shifts in precipitation and temperature are evident, A number of reports suggest that forests are being affected by air pollution. Yet, the extent to which such effects occur is uncertain, despite the efforts dedicated to monitoring forests. Routine monitoring programmes provide a huge amount of data. Yet in many cases, these data do not fit the conceptual and statistical requirements for detecting status and trends of forest health, nor for cause-effect research. There is a clear need for a re-thinking of monitoring strategies. Crown Copyright (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
