When most people talk about ozone(臭氧) it’s about how we have too little of it at the top of the atmosphere and too much of it at the ground level. However, new scientifc research now suggests that the loss of ozone in the upper atmosphere(the familiar ozone hole) may affect how terrestrial(陆地的) plants grow much more directly than once thought.The upper atmosphere is widely known as the stratosphere(平流层), and it is located between 6 and 30 miles above the Earth’s surface. Stratospheric ozone is important because it absorbs about 97 to 99 percent of the incoming ultraviolet(紫外线的) radiation(辐射) from the Sun.Scientists from the University of Exeter, in the UK, have been studying how the ultraviolet radiation that streams through the stratosphere and the ozone layer affects phytoplankton(浮游植物) in the sea, but they have now uncovered some surprising effects on land, too.According to the study, conducted on the cress plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, which is often used in experiments because it grows quickly, it appears that even when completely shielded(遮蔽) from ultraviolet radiation, the plant still experiences changes in gene(基因) activity similar to those caused by radiation. Thechanges d on’t appear to directly damage the DNA(脱氧核糖核酸), but they do lower levels of important compounds that the plant produces.As。
