Research has shown that Arctic plants are more injured by increased ultraviolet radiation than by global warming (see Ch. 17)
(77) The authors of the study say "there is a growing belief that ozone depletion is of only minor environmental concern because the impacts of UV-B radiation on plant communities are often very subtle. Here we show that 5 years of exposure of a subarctic heath to enhanced UV-B radiation both alone and in combination with elevated CO2 resulted in significant changes in the C:N ratio and in the bacterial community structure of the soil microbial biomass." What might this mean about the future Arctic ecology? Explain.
