ACTUAL PROBLEM OF ESTIMATION OF CONSEQUENCES OF ATMOSPHERIC OZONE DEPLETION FOR CROP PRODUCTION (review)

G.V. Koz'min, K.V. Manin, T.V. Chizh

An overview is presented of current approaches to the study of biological effect of ultraviolet (UV) radiation for estimation of consequences of stratospheric ozone depletion and the use of artificial UV-radiation source in crop production. The authors showed the necessity of partial revision of previously obtained data and more exacting experiments with the use of tube devices simulated UV-effect during depletion of stratospheric ozone. Unprecedented decrease of stratospheric ozone in the Arctic in spring 2011 year permits to speak about a topicality of investigations on estimation of consequences of ozone depletion for crop production of northern regions of Russian Federation.

Keywords: UV-radiation, ozone reduction, higher plants, field crops, biological effective dose, action spectra, crop losses.
