We examined the effect of ozone (O(3)) on Norway spruce (Picea abies) needle epicuticular wax over three seasons at the Kranzberg Ozone Fumigation Experiment. Exposure to 2 x ambient O(3) ranged from 64.5 to 74.2 mu-l O(3) l-1 h AOT40, and 117.1 to 123.2 nl O(3) l-1 4th highest daily maximum 8-h average O(3) concentration. The proportion of current-year needle surface covered by wax tubes, tube aggregates, and plates decreased (P = 0.011) under 2 x O(3). Epistomatal chambers had increased deposits of amorphous wax. Proportion of secondary alcohols varied due to year (P = 0.004) and O(3) treatment (P = 0.029). Secondary alcohols were reduced by 9.1% under 2 x O(3). Exposure to 2 x O(3) increased (P = 0.037) proportions of fatty acids by 29%. Opposing trends in secondary alcohols and fatty acids indicate a direct action of O(3) on wax biosynthesis. These results demonstrate O3-induced changes in biologically important needle surface characteristics of 50-year-old field-grown trees. Free-air ozone exposure induced changes in needle wax characteristics of mature Picea abies
