The sensitivity of agricultural crops and weed to the impact of ozone and UV-B radiation was evaluated according to changes in their dry biomass and concentration of photosynthetic pigments. Pisum sativum L., Raphanus sativus L. and Phleum pretense L. were most sensitive to the impact of ozone in current climatic conditions (350 ppm of CO2 and 21 °C day/14 °C night temperatures). The sensitivity of all test crops to the impact of ozone decreased significantly under warmer climatic conditions – 700 ppm of CO2 and 25 °C day/19 °C night temperatures. Pisum sativum L. and Chenopodium album L. appeared to be most sensitive to the impact of UV-B radiation under current climatic conditions. Changes in the sensitivity of plants to the impact of UV-B radiation under warmer climatic conditions were not as pronounced as those for ozone, and were highly species-dependent. Sensitivity to the impact of UV-B radiation under warmer climatic conditions decreased for Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. and Chenopodium album L. and increased for Raphanus sativus L. and Phleum pretense L.
