The research in this book covers papers on a great number of
research projects on the responses of plants and crops of natural
terrestrial ecosystems, of agro-ecosystems, and of aquatic
ecosystems, to enhanced solar UV-B as a result of stratospheric
ozone depletion. Some introductory chapters deal with general
aspects of how plants respond to UV-B radiation. Photosynthetically
Active Radiation (PAR) is a primary energy resource for terrestrial
plants, necessary for plant growth. Inevitably terrestrial plants
absorb UV-B when exposed to solar radiation. The spectral balance
between PAR and UV-B is discussed in several chapters. The
responses of plants and ecosystems from the Antarctic and Arctic to
enhanced solar UV-B radiation as a consequence of the hole in the
ozone layer are considered in some detail. In addition the papers
in the book discuss the problem of how responses of plants to UV-B
radiation interact with other environmental factors. The book is of
great importance for those who are involved in global change
topics: biologists, ecologists, earth scientists, agronomists,
environmental scientists, and those who develop environmental
policy.
