Ozone effects on plants in natural ecosystems.doi:10.1111/PLB.12971Nancy E. GrulkeR. L. HeathJohn Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Ozone layer depletion refers to the reduction of ozone in the stratosphere due to both natural and human activities, which can lead to an increase in UV radiation at the Earth's surface. This depletion has various negative effects on the environment, including harming marine life, damaging plant...

A belt of ozone gas in the upper atmosphere. This ozone filters out incoming ultraviolet radiation liable to damage the chemicals all living things are made of. Holes appearing in the ozone layer above polar regions have been blamed on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). ...
However, UV radiation is required in optimum intensity for both plants and animals. This review takes into an account the wide ranging effects of ozone depletion with a majority of them being detrimental to the plant system. References [1] Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Research, “Solar-...
Plant stressors, such as ozone, may affect each of these interactions. Studies on the effects of ozone on the oviposition preference of insects revealed that exposure of host plants to ozone had positive35, negative6,36,37or no effects11on the oviposition preference of the insects. Furthermore...
Plants can be damaged in a lasting exposure. Alter aquatic ecosystems, so necessary for biological balance. READ:Causes, Effects and Solutions to Environmental Pollution How to Take Care of the Ozone? Although recently it has been known that the ozone depletion is closing, it is important to kn...
Stomata, i.e., small pores on leaves, are a crucial interface for gas exchange between forests and the atmosphere. Ozone enters plants via stomata and causes a decline of photosynthetic capacity6. In addi- twioante,rOs3avisinggendeurealtloy known to induce stomatal closure7, which results in...
in aquatic ecosystems, because water rapidly reduces the UV-B flux.Ozone depletionhas been most serious in the region of the “ozone hole” in the Antarctic, where impacts on oceanic ecosystems are already reported. As with other toxic substances, the long-term effects of moderate ozone ...
We model the effect of historical O3 concentrations on global wheat and soybean yields. We explicitly consider interaction effects of O3 with temperature, water stress, phenology and CO2 at the physiological level in plants. We separately analyze Western (i.e. European and North American) and ...
