An analysis of ozone damage to historical maize and soybean yields in the United States
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Although it has long been known that ground-level ozone (O 3 ) damages crops and reduces yield, there has never been an estimate of the total loss attributed to ambient O 3 for field-grown maize and soybean in the United States. Knowing the loss caused by this pollutant would be useful for projecting food supply and setting regulatory standards for pollutant emissions. Here we show that ambient O 3 has reduced maize and soybean yields in rain-fed fields by ∼10% and 5%, respectively, based on historical observations from the past 31 y. Results suggest that air-quality regulations in the United States have been effective in reducing crop production losses to O 3 , and indicate that further reductions in ground-level [O 3 ] would be beneficial in the United States and globally.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
