Abstract
We evaluated the influence of exposure to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation (2.75,3.08, 3.25 and 3.41 W m-2), and recovery on returning to visible light conditions (150 umol m-2 s-1) on the physiological properties related to photosynthesis in the mosses Bryum argenteum Hedw. and Didy-modon vinealis (Brid.) Zand. Specimens of B. argenteum and D. vinealis were isolated from biological soil crusts (BSCs) from the Tengger Desert, northern China. The results showed that UV-B radiation decreased the Chi fluorescence parameters, photosynthetic pigments, soluble protein and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents of B. argenteum and vinealis, and that the degree of negative effects was in proportion to the int..
