UV-B and Biosphere

UV-B and Biosphere edited by Jelte Rozema, W.W.C. Gieskes, S.C. van de Geijn, C. Nolan, H. de Boois.

Current phase-out schedules of the production and emission of CFC's indicate that chlorine loading in the stratosphere is not yet at its maximum. The recovery of stratospheric ozone is estimated to take time and ele­ vated levels of UV-B radiation are expected to occur throughout most of the ne...
