Research into the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on terrestrial ecosystems remains a
relatively new discipline that is currently split into two broad themes: the effects of increased …

Knowledge of Antarctic biotas and environments has increased dramatically in recent years.
There has also been a rapid increase in the use of novel technologies. Despite this, some …

This established textbook offers a one-stop, comprehensive coverage of air pollution, all in
an easy-reading and accessible style. The fourth edition, broadly updated and developed …

Arctic terrestrial ecosystems are generally considered to be species poor, fragile and often
isolated. Nonetheless, their intricate complexity, especially that of the invertebrate …

We report a meta‐analysis of data from 34 field studies into the effects of ultraviolet B (UVB)
radiation on Arctic and Antarctic bryophytes and angiosperms. The studies measured plant …

Antarctic terrestrial biota are generally limited by the inexorably linked environmental factors
of low summer temperature and lack of available water. However, in parts of the Antarctic …

The potential role of ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B)‐induced secondary plant metabolites as mediators
of multiple trophic responses in terrestrial ecosystems is considered through review of the …

UV-B absorbance and UV-B absorbing compounds (UACs) of the pollen of Vicia faba,
Betula pendula, Helleborus foetidus and Pinus sylvestris were studied. Sequential extraction …

Depletion of stratospheric ozone over the Antarctic has been re-occurring yearly since 1974,
leading to enhanced UV-B radiation. Arctic ozone depletion has been observed since 1990 …

The simplicity of maritime Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems, combined with rapid changes in
several environmental variables, creates a natural laboratory probably unparalleled …
