Effect of solar ultraviolet-B radiation during springtime ozone depletion on photosynthesis and biomass production of Antarctic vascular plants.
We assessed the influence of springtime solar UV-B radiation that was naturally enhanced during several days due to ozone depletion on biomass production and photosynthesis of vascular plants along the Antarctic Peninsula. Naturally growing plants of Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth) Bartl. and Deschampsia antarctica Desv. were potted and grown under filters that absorbed or transmitted most solar ...
متن کاملCO(2) Enhancement of Growth and Photosynthesis in Rice (Oryza sativa) : Modification by Increased Ultraviolet-B Radiation.
Two cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) IR-36 and Fujiyama-5 were grown at ambient (360 microbars) and elevated CO(2) (660 microbars) from germination through reproduction in unshaded greenhouses at the Duke University Phytotron. Growth at elevated CO(2) resulted in significant decreases in nighttime respiration and increases in photosynthesis, total biomass, and yield for both cultivars. Howev...
متن کاملChanges in biologically-active ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface.
The Montreal Protocol is working. Concentrations of major ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere are now decreasing, and the decline in total column amounts seen in the 1980s and 1990s at mid-latitudes has not continued. In polar regions, there is much greater natural variability. Each spring, large ozone holes continue to occur in Antarctica and less severe regions of depleted ozone cont...
متن کاملUV-B radiation effects on terrestrial plants – A perspective
Both terrestrial and aquatic plants, the primary producers supporting life on earth, can be threatened by global climate change and particularly by UV-B radiation due to the depletion of the ozone layer in both Poles. The injurious effects of UV-B have been assessed mainly through in vitro studies and vary greatly according the dose received, the exposition period and the sensitivity of the spe...
متن کاملEffect of Light Intensity and UV Radiation on Morpho-physiological Charactrestics and Biomass of Rose-Scented Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L'Heritier)
Rose-scented geranium (Pelargonium graveolens Lchr('39')Heritier) is an important ornamental plant that is cultivated worldwide due to its valuable medicinal properties. The present research was conducted to evaluate the effect of light intensity and UV radiation on the morphological and physiological characteristics of rose-scented geranium in 2020. The experiment was performed as split plots ...
