Plants are affected by UV rays. Some of them die in their presence.
Ozone layer depletion leads to an increase in ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface. This excessive UV radiation can harm plants by damaging their cellular processes, reducing photosynthesis rates, and increasing the risk of mutations in their DNA. Overall, ozone layer depletion can hinder the growth and development of plants and disrupt ecosystems.
Bryophytes are not affected by bacteria & viruses
Solar radiation in plants inhance the rate of transpiration. To cope up with the water deficiency in plants roots are desired to uptake more water.
A nuclear radiation device measures the level of radiation present in a particular environment. It can detect and quantify different types of ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation. These devices are essential for monitoring radiation levels in areas like nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and environmental sites.
Depending on the type of plant they need certain amounts of sunlight, rain, and can only stand a certain amount of temperature. So going through the different seasons plants will come and go.
Small amounts of radiation from damaged nuclear plants in Japan have already reached California but they pose no health threats at all. Any radiation that reaches California from Japan is well dissipated by the time it gets there.
Plants differ in height, color, texture. Different plants have different numbers of genes. Some plants need high amounts of water. Some plants need a lot of sunlight and others prefer shady conditions. Some plants prefer sandy soil and others need black earth and vast amounts of nutrients. Some plants are useful to man and others are considered weeds.
Plants depend on solar radiation (light) to synthesise their energy.
The plants absorbs the solar radiation and energy.
Different plants have evolved in different environments with various light conditions, leading to variations in their sunlight requirements. Plants have adapted to utilize sunlight for photosynthesis at different rates depending on their species, which determines how much sunlight they need to thrive. Factors such as leaf structure, pigment content, and physiological adaptations also influence a plant's sunlight requirements.
Plants can be protected from radiation by placing them in shielded areas such as a greenhouse or indoors with radiation-blocking materials like lead or concrete. Additionally, increasing the distance between plants and radiation sources can also help reduce exposure. Some plants have natural mechanisms to repair radiation damage, while others may benefit from antioxidants in their soil to mitigate the effects of radiation.
No, nuclear power is not the only energy source that gives off radiation. Coal-fired power plants, for example, also release radioactive materials into the environment. However, nuclear power plants do release more radiation than other energy sources.

Nuclear Plants give off radiation, however when some of the nuclear plants in Japan were destroyed, some of the radiation did travel here but the radiation it sent here isn't strong enough to do any damage :)

They evolved to fill the niches found on land.
