Abstract We investigated the responses of ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing compounds, chlorophylls a and b , carotenoids and the growth responses of the pleurocarpous moss Pleurozium schreberi (Britt.) Mitt. to enhanced UV radiation in situ . The moss was exposed to a 52% elevation above the ambient level...
