The overall project management and coordination is carried out by ACRI-ST. ACRI-ST is responsible for the technical direction of the activities and overall quality assurance.Main activities and preliminary results are:

Action 0: Project management and monitoring

• A well-organised team
• Development and implementation of the monitoring protocol
• Implementation of working plan

Action 1: Exposure vs. visible symptoms

• Ozone trends analysis around the South European Mediterranean basin
• Follow-up at 49 plots across Italy and 30 plots in South-eastern France
• Implementation of the ozone and meteorological models
• Collection of the tree growth data
• Ozone-induced symptoms assessment at 54 plots in France and Italy
• Modelling of the stomatal ozone uptake by the DO3SE model
• First statistical analyses

Action 2: Measurements of ozone fluxes – Refinement of methods

• Campaigns at Castelporziano, San Rossore, Fontblanche, Puéchabon
• First comparisons between measured and modelled stomatal ozone fluxes
• First validation of the stomatal flux model DO3SE for a mixed Mediterranean forest
• First results on the cause-effect relationship between ozone and forest health data
• Protocol for the ABA dosages and biochemical analysis

Action 3: Spatial variability of ozone impacts

• Collect of necessary data
• Mapping: AOT40 and Phytotoxic Ozone Dose (POD) in 2010, 2011 and 2012

Action 4: Dissemination activities

• Project’s website operational, on-line and regularly updated
• Participation to conferences and workshops (ICPs, national, international…)
• 2 scientific papers published and 2 other under process
• Many communication and dissemination tools: school visits, flyers, posters, brochures

Action 5: Networking with other projects

• Networking with other projects
• Intense cooperation DEMETRA-FO₃REST
• Participation to Experts' workshops, exchange of experience
