Ultraviolet-B Radiation and Plant Competition: Experimental Approaches and Underlying Mechanisms¶
|
ABSTRACT
Under realistic stratospheric ozone depletion scenarios, ultraviolet-B radiation (280-320 nm) (UV-B) influences plant morphology and plant competitive interactions. Influence of UV-B on plant competition can be studied using a variety of experimental and analytical approaches incl
uding inverse yield-density models and allometric, neighborhood or size-structure analyses that provide links between plant and ecosystem responses. These approaches differ in their abilities to extract information regarding competitive interactions and their morphological underpinnings. Only a limited ...
