Data from: Reduced productivity and carbon drawdown of tropical forests from ground-level ozone exposure

Elevated ground-level ozone (O3), a result of human activity, is known to reduce plant productivity but its impact on tropical forests remains unclear. Here for the first-time we measured the O3 susceptibility in a range of ten tropical tree species and use these data to determine how changing O3 exposure has impacted tropical forest productivity and the global carbon cycle.
