Özet
Forests are subject to stress from natural causes and human activities. The human activities include physical disturbance and air pollution. Physical / chemical or biological methods arc used to assess the impact of an air pollutant(s) on individual organisms / species or whole ecosystems. To assess the air pollution stress and damage, forest health is routinely monitored in long-term period. One of the most numerous monitoring methods to determine the level of stress, is biological marker usage. Some of the most numerous plant responses used as bioindicators are: Tree-ring analysis, stable isotope ratios, foliar symptoms, photosynthesis and transpiration, cellular/ultrastructural changes and root growth.
