@article{Searles2017AMO, title={A meta-analysis of plant field studies simulating stratospheric ozone depletion}, author={Peter S Searles and Stephan D Flint and Martyn M. Caldwell}, journal={Oecologia}, year={2017}, volume={127}, pages={1-10} }
The potential effects of increased ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–320 nm) simulating stratospheric ozone depletion in field studies with vascular plants have previously been summarized only in narrative literature reviews. In this quantitative synthesis, we have assessed the significance of solar UV-B enhancement for ten commonly measured variables involving leaf pigmentation, plant growth and morphology, and photosynthesis using meta-analytic statistical methods. Of 103 papers published…

The effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on loblolly pine

The results suggest that the effects of UV-B radiation may accumulate in trees and that increased UV- B radiation could significantly reduce the growth of loblolly pine over its lifetime, and point to a need for multiple season research in any analysis of potential consequences of global change on the long-term growth of trees.

Under glasshouse conditions, UV-B exposure was found to reduce leaf blade and internode lengths and increase leaf and axillary shoot production in several species, suggesting changes in competitive balance more frequently when monocots are involved in mixtures, rather than mixtures of only dicots.

Changes in growth and pigment concentrations with leaf age in pea under modulated UV-B radiation field treatments

Pea was much less sensitive to enhanced UV-B than in previous growth-chamber and greenhouse studies, and in nearly all casesUV-B treatment effects were overshadowed by leaf-age effects, suggesting researchers may need to consider leaf age in UV- B experimental designs.
