Description for UV-B and Biosphere
Hardback. This study summarizes the current status of knowledge related to effects of UV-B radiation on plant life, ranging from gene to ecosystem level. Responses to UV-B radiation of marine, fresh water and terrestrial ecosystem processes are covered. Editor(s): Rozema, J.; Gieskes, W.W.C. (State University of Groningen, The Netherlands); Geijn, S.C. van de; Nolan, C.; Boois, H. de. Series: Advances in Vegetation Science. Num Pages: 313 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAF; PSTS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 279 x 210 x 19. Weight in Grams: 9522.
Current phase-out schedules of the production and emission of CFC's indicate that chlorine loading in the stratosphere is not yet at its maximum. The recovery of stratospheric ozone is estimated to take time and ele vated levels of UV-B radiation are expected to occur throughout most of the next century. Despite numerous physiological studies of UV-B effects on plants, often grown in climate chambers, knowledge of UV-B effects on organisms and processes in natural aquatic or terrestrial ecosystems is poor. Currently it appears that UV-B radiation is not just an environmental stress' factor to plants. In various ways, which are ... Read more
