Illustration of projected ozone changes in the South Coast region due to climate change in 2050. Areas in orange and red could see ozone concentrations elevated by 9 to 18 parts per billion. Kleeman of UC Davis, lead author. Click to enlarge. We must consider climate change and air pollution together as we plan for the future.

They found that reductions in ground ozone during this 35-year period resulted in $600 million in increased production annually by the early 2010s. Davis and his colleagues chose to concentrate on perennials because of the long-term investment they represent and the fact that California is a major supplier of this type of produce.
