One of the most important adverse effects on the environment is perhaps the depletion ofozone layer which protects the earth from harmful effects of UV radiation, especially UV-B. Theeffect of UV-B radiation can vary according to species. At high rates of UV-B radiation, manydisorders in DNA, photosynthesis, morphological and physiological structure, and biomassaccumulation in plants are observed. In this review, the effects of high UV-B radiation on terrestrial ecosystem are discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessUV-B RadiationTerrestrial EcosystemOzone Layer DepletionEnvironmentPhysiological StructureReview Article781173117610.24925/turjaf.v7i8.1173-1176.2519
