Response to ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation by attached assemblages of estuarine diatoms

Creator:: Brooker, Deborah L.
Abstract:: Global atmospheric pollution from chlorofluorocarbons has the potential of causing significant reductions in the concentrations of stratospheric ozone. If the production of chlorofluorocarbons were to continue into the future at the rate prevalent in 1977, the steady state reduction in total global ozone could be between five percent to ten...

Response of estuarine diatom assemblages to ultraviolet-B radiation (290-320 nm)

Creator:: Brooker, Deborah L., Worrest, Robert C.,, and Oregon State University
Abstract:: Artificial substrates colonized by diatoms from Yaquina Estuary, Oregon, were exposed to solar visible radiation and three levels of ultraviolet radiation (UV-B, 290-320 nm). Flow-through microcosms were constructed inside a glasshouse to serve as chambers for the artificial substrates. The artificial substrates were sampled during three spring/summer experiments. Chlorophyll a...

Effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on marine phytoplankton

Creator:: Behrenfeld, Michael Joseph
Abstract:: Global increases in ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR:290- 320 nm) resulting from decreases in stratospheric ozone concentration have the potential to alter marine primary production and affect global climate and marine trophic dynamics. Effects of UVBR on phytoplankton carbon fixation were determined from open ocean exposure studies conducted off the coast of...

Primary productivity in the southeast Pacific Ocean : effects of enhanced ultraviolet-B radiation

Creator:: Behrenfeld, Mike J.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic releases of trace gases into the atmosphere are causing a decrease in stratospheric ozone concentrations and a subsequent increase in solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B)(280-320 nm) radiation reaching the earth's surface. The objective of this study was to determine the acute effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on the primary production of...

Sublethal effects of UV-B radiation on larval amphibians

Creator:: Belden, Lisa K.
Abstract:: Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) has been suggested as a factor contributing to global amphibian population declines. While ambient UV-B levels damage the eggs and embryos of some amphibian species, few studies have addressed how UV-B affects other life history stages or sublethal responses. My dissertation focuses on (1) investigations of sublethal...

Ultraviolet radiation as an environmental stressor of amphibians

Creator:: Bancroft, Betsy A.
Abstract:: My thesis explored the effects of and potential mediating mechanisms for an important environmental stressor, ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation. UVB radiation has negative effects on organisms in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. I used meta-analysis to quantify the effects of UVB radiation on a diversity of aquatic organisms (Chapter 2). UVB...

Individual and population responses to abiotic stresses in Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)

Creator:: Martinez-Ghersa, Maria Alejandra
Abstract:: Plant form is a compromise between resource gathering, reproduction and the tolerance to physical demands of the abiotic and biotic environment. In an agricultural field in addition to the natural factors causing stress, humans also introduce physical and mechanical stresses, and chemical pesticides into the environment. Many of these factors...

Indirect effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on larval amphibians as mediated by food quality and trophic interactions

Creator:: Scheessele, Erin A.
Abstract:: Ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) is an abiotic stressor in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. The stratospheric ozone layer, depleted due to anthropogenic activities and the cause of elevated UVB at earth's surface over the last four decades, is predicted to recover by 2065. However, UVB levels in aquatic systems may continue...
