Short summary
The risk of ozone pollution to plants is estimated based on the flux through the plant pores which still has uncertainties. In this study, we estimate this quantity with nine models at different land types worldwide, driven by measurement data. The models mostly estimated reasonable summertime ozone flux to plants. The model results varied by land cover, mainly related to the a lack of moisture in the soil. This work is an important step for assessing the ozone impact on vegetation.
