Seasonal Patterns in Spectral Irradiance and Leaf UV-A Absorbance Under Forest Canopies

Plants commonly respond to UV radiation through the accumulation of flavonoids and related phenolic compounds which potentially ameliorate UV-damage to crucial internal structures. However, the seasonal dynamics of leaf flavonoids corresponding to epidermal UV absorbance is highly variable in nature...
