UV Radiation and Arctic Ecosystems

UV Radiation and Arctic Ecosystems edited by D.O. Hessen.

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. In...
