We examine the potential global risk of increasing surface ozone (O₃) exposure to three key staple crops (soybean, maize, and wheat) in the near future (year 2030) according to two trajectories of O₃ pollution: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (IPCC...
