Climate Change May Extend Ozone Season in the Southeastern U.S.

Trees in the Southeast United States emit higher levels of isoprene as they are placed under stress from dry conditions. Isoprene is a precursor for the formation of ozone in the atmosphere. This forest is shown near Atlanta, Georgia. (Credit: John Toon, Georgia Tech)
