Description
The
USDA has long been concerned about high levels of ultraviolet radiation (UV-B)
from the Sun, which are known to have harmful effects on agricultural crops,
rangelands, forest ecosystems, livestock, humans, and built infrastructure. The
purpose of the Global Change, Ultraviolet Radiation Monitoring and Research
Program is to support research and research infrastructure which: generates an
uninterrupted stream of climatology data; determines mechanisms and symptoms of
plant and animal response; and applies tightly integrated models to assess
regional and national impacts (both biological and economic) of multiple plant
stressors.
