Allelopathy as a mechanism for the invasion of Typha angustifolia (2009, methodology): “Absorption spectra of the TSBP extracted from the roots of T. latifolia and T. angustifolia were qualitatively compared following the methods of Ruhland and Day (2000) .”
Living on the edge – plants and global change in continental and maritime Antarctica (2003, unknown): “Leaves of both plants showed a low epidermal transmittance of UV-B (4% D. antarctica, 0.6% C. quitensis), suggesting that they may rely on wall-bound phenylpropanoids, which provide a spatially uniform filter, rather than on soluble UV-B pigments (Ruhland & Day, 2000).”
Responses of plants in polar regions to UVB exposure: a meta‐analysis (2009, methodology): “(2005) surmise that, with the exception of studies close to Anvers Island in the maritime Antarctic (e.g. Day et al ., 1999; 2001), most field-based lamp or screen studies indicate negligible effects of UV-B exposure on plants.”
