| Summary: | The book UV-B and Biosphere 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. In addition the interaction of UV-B with CO2 enrichment, temperature increase and other environmental factors are considered. The following topics are discussed: Penetration of UV-B into natural waters Responses of marine and freshwater algae to UV-B UV-B, UV-A and PAR in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems Methodology of UV-B supplementation and filtration UV-B tolerant and UV-B sensitive plant species Adaptations to UV-B radiation UV-B and plant morphology and allocation patterns UV-B effects on secondary metabolites UV-B and plant life history characteristics UV-B and reproduction UV-B and primary production UV-B and plant species composition UV-B and decomposition UV-B and biogeochemical cycles. |
