Mitigation of ozone vegetation damage in China through sector-based emission control towards carbon neutrality

Key Points

• Ozone damage to vegetation decreases with effective sector-based emission control, indicating improved air quality.
• A significant reduction in vegetation damage is reported, with targeted emission controls linked to carbon neutrality goals.
• Observational analysis of emission trends highlights challenges in regulating ozone levels across different sectors of China.
• These findings emphasize the need for coordinated policy efforts in emissions management to support environmental sustainability.
