The article describes some effects on human health, aquatic ecosystems, agricultural plants and other living things, and explains how much ultraviolet radiation we are currently getting and how we measure it.
1 lut 2023 · Accelerated loss of biodiversity will likely occur as climate change continues to exert its effects on range shifts on plants and animals. Plants use both temperature and day length (photoperiod) as environmental cues for regulation of phenology (flowering, dormancy, budburst, etc.).
22 gru 2022 · Potential changes in exposure to UV radiation as plants and insects migrate to higher latitudes and elevations with climate change. Panel A shows the estimated changes in UV radiation as plants and their herbivorous insects migrate poleward after 100 years (y) of climate change.
In addition to the concentration of DOM, the radiation it absorbs influences exposure to UV radiation of inland and coastal waters. Changes in iron (Fe) concentrations, pH, and land-use patterns modify DOM optical characteristics, degradation, and absorption of UV radiation.
Exposure of aquatic ecosystems to UV radiation in marine and inland surface waters is determined by the combined effects of incident irradiance, ice and snow cover, water transparency, and the depth to which organisms passively circulate or, if motile, actively position.
23 cze 2022 · Most studies examining the toxicity of UV filters on aquatic organisms have concentrated on freshwater species, but some studies have used marine organisms from various trophic levels to assess the effects on marine biota, including primary producers, fish, and corals.
15 paź 2004 · With UV vision, animals can see animals that are transparent in visible light. Some ocean animals, such as shrimp and squid, can even see the polarization of underwater light—due to a special geometric arrangement of their retinas.
