The problem of ozone depletion in northern Europe

Article Abstract:

Research on ultraviolet-B radiation exposure has been intensified as a result of increasing ozone layer depletion. Air pollution generated by human activity continues to decrease the ozone, exposing living organisms to molecular damage. Tests currently underway include targeting terrestrial ecosystems with artificial radiation to accelerate the effects and obtain needed data.

Synthesis of effects in four Arctic sub regions

Article Abstract:

Assessments of the impact of changes in climate and UV-B radiation within four sub regions of the Arctic are determined by large-scale differences in weather and climate shaping factors. The geographical barriers to species relocation, particularly the distributions of landmasses and separation by seas would affect the northward shift in vegetation zones.

Effects on the function of Arctic ecosystems in the short- and long-term perspectives

Article Abstract:

The likely impact of changes in climate and UV-B radiation on the functioning of Arctic ecosystems is assessed. Processes at the plot scales are highlighted and the impact of changes in climate and UV-B on processes at the landscape and regional scales are examined.
