| Contents | Global ozone depletion : observations and theory / Monitoring changes in UV-B radiation / Action spectra for UV-B effects on plants : monochromatic and polychromatic approaches for analysing plant responses / DNA damage and repair in plants / Genetic analysis of DNA repair in plants / Photosynthesis and photoinhibition / UV-B effects on the expression of genes encoding proteins involved in photosynthesis / UV-B perception and signal transduction / Ultraviolet radiation as a stress factor and the role of protective pigments / Effects of solar UV-B radiation on aquatic ecosystems / Assessing the impact of UV-B radiation on the growth and yield of field crops / Effects of UV-B radiation on plants from agro- and natural ecosystems / Effects on subarctic vegetation of enhanced UV-B radiation / Impacts of elevated UV-B on forest ecosystems / Effects of elevated UV-B radiation and elevated CO₂ on heathland communities / Alterations in competitive balance / Interactions between trophic levels / |
| Summary | One of the predicted consequences of the depletion of stratospheric ozone is an increase in the amount of ultraviolet light reaching the surface of the earth, in particular UV-B (320-280nm). Although the real effects are as yet unknown, this change in radiation could have profound consequences for plant growth and productivity. The need for information concerning the relationship between plants and UV-B is therefore pressing. This volume brings together authoritative contributions from leading experts in UV-B/plant studies and is unique in considering interactions at various scales, ranging from the level of the cell through to the level of the community. Information concerning ozone depletion and physical aspects of UV-B radiation complements the biological information to provide a thorough and comprehensive review of the present status of knowledge. |
