The influence of direct sunlight on vegetation

ABSTRACT THE influence of direct sunlight on vegetation is generally A known, but surely deserves to be a subject of special study. In the following paper we shall only endeavour to describe

some facts with relation to this influence. In the first place, the effect of the sun's rays in the tropical regions will be traced, and afterwards in the temperate and arctic zones.

The constant high temperature within the tropics is the cause of the plants being less dependent on the direct solar heat than is the case in the greater part of the temperate and cold

zones, but, notwitstarid-ing this, there are plants even in the tropical regions requiring for a luxuriant growth the direct rays of the sun. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe
