Assessment of the Impact of Increased Solar-Ultraviolet Radiation of Seagress

چکیده
An early concern in the planning of the Space Shuttle Program was the loss of at mospheric ozone due to repeated Shuttle flights and a resultant increase in penetrant ultraviolet radiation. Our research group has examined the effects of an increase in this radiation (UV-B, 290315 nm) on three marine angiosperms (Halophila engelmannii Aschers, Halodule wrightii Aschers, and Syringodium filiforme Kutz) important to shallow marine and estuarine ecosystems. The photosynthetic tol erance of each seagrass to UV-B and mechan isms which might prevent or reverse damage

متن کاملMeasurement of solar ultraviolet radiation in Yazd, Iran
Background: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is divided into three regions: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Both the quality and quantity of solar UV radiation vary with various factors including the elevation of the sun above the horizon, as well as absorption and scattering of UV photons by molecules in the atmosphere, notably ozone and clouds. It is clear that whereas a moderate amount of UV exposure ...
