Paper Summary

Plants react to stronger UV-B rays and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the air due to issues like acid rain and ozone layer damage. Scientists have looked into how they respond to these stresses over the past 20 years. They found that both UV-B radiation and SO2 have a big impact on plant growth and health.
