ultraviolet rays are harmful to many plants. These cause, among
other things, sunburn, nitrogen releases and fungal diseases. Using

especially in the increasing heat of the summer. However, it's not
all bad news as warmer temperatures seem to be helping native
species to grow, and numbers of butterflies are also
increasing.
