Some introductory chapters deal with general aspects of how plants  respond to UV-B radiation. \u003cbr\u003e  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. \u003cbr\u003e  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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792360629\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2892-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 278\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265558040716,"sku":"9780792360629","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792360629.jpg?v=1770783665","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792360629","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
