Abstract

A decrease in stratospheric ozone will result in a serious threat to plants and animals, since short-wavelength UVB (280-320 run) radiation will increase even with a relatively small decrease in ozone. Depending on location, species and cultivar, many plants may be relatively unaffected by smaII increases in UVB radiation, but ecosystem composition may change, which is probably of more concern than agricultural crops that are more easily manipulated. This report discusses some of the aspects of UV research on plants with regard to different target sites and methods currently used.
