- who: Wesley T. Fraser from the Department of Social Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK have published the paper: Pollen and spores as a passive monitor of ultraviolet radiation, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
SUMMARY
Recent research into the composition of sporopollenin has revealed measurable changes in response to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation that occur during the process of spore generation (Lomax et_al, 2008; Fraser et_al, 2011). The chemical sensitivity of sporopollenin to UV exposure raises the exciting prospect of reconstructing past UV radiation flux using fossil sporomorphs (preserved pollen and spores) (Rozema . . .
