Plan for the 2nd edition

Note

This is a book created using the “Quarto book” system (version 1.5). To learn more about Quarto books visit https://quarto.org/docs/books.

The first edition was published as an outcome of the COST Action: UV4Growth. After the end of the Action, the UV4Plants Association was formed. This second edition is being produced under the auspices of the UV4Plants Association.

This new edition will be made available on-line as work in progress, i.e., written in the open.

The text and illustrations from the first edition are being updated to the current state of the science and the methods used in research. In addition, text and illustrations from articles published in the UV4Plants Bulletin are being updated and adapted for inclusion in the new edition.

The structure of the book is not yet final. We are following a plan, but as long chapters are unsuitable for on-line reading, some of the originally planned chapters below have been further divided. In this draft version, chapters have been tentatively grouped into parts.

The currently planned chapters are:

• Basics
  1. Introduction
  2. Radiation
  3. Optics
  4. The UV, VIS and NIR environment of terrestrial plants
  5. The UV, VIS and NIR environment of aquatic plants
• Measurements
  6. Quantifying UV, VIS and NIR radiation
  7. Measurement of optical properties of leaves
  8. Quantifying plants’ responses
  9. Imaging in UV, VIS and short IR radiation
• Design and planning
  10. Design, planning and data analysis from photobiological experiments
  11. Ensuring reproducibility
• Realization and treatments
  12. Manipulating UV and VIS radiation
  13. Cultivation of terrestrial plants for UV and other photobiological experiments
  14. Cultivation of aquatic plants for UV and other photobiological experiments
