Although there are some biological processes that are supported by UV
radiation, most organisms are stressed by it in various ways, e.g.
through DNA damage. Top international experts present an integrated
overview of UV radiation and its effects on terrestrial, freshwater
and marine Arctic biota. Increased stratospheric ozone depletion and
the corresponding increase in ground levels of UV radiation as well as
ambient, "natural" UV radiation as a key ecological factor in the
Arctic spring and summer are discussed in detail. Additionally, basic
information on Arctic ecosystems is given. The volume provides not
only an excellent account of present-day knowledge of the subject, but
also describes the state of the art on which future research can be
built.
