The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, together with its smaller inertia due to
the relative short residence time of its water masses, make it highly reactive to external …

▪ Abstract Ozone depletion by anthropogenic gases has increased the atmospheric
transmission of solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–315 nm). Our understanding of the …

This assessment summarises the current state of knowledge on the interactive effects of
ozone depletion and climate change on aquatic ecosystems, focusing on how these affect …

Irradiation of particulate organic matter (POM) at light intensities found at the earth's surface
should induce reduction in molecular weight, as found for dissolved organic matter, and …

During May 2002 we carried out studies with tropical phytoplankton assemblages from
coastal waters off SE China to assess the combined effects of solar UV radiation (UVR, 280 …

The productivity of aquatic primary producers depends on a number of biotic and abiotic
factors, such as pH, CO2 concentration, temperature, nutrient availability, solar UV and PAR …

Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) play a key role in the removal of
reactive oxygen species produced during visible and ultraviolet irradiance stress in …

Rising carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations in the atmosphere result in increasing global
temperatures and ocean warming (OW). Concomitantly, dissolution of anthropogenic CO 2 …

To study how natural Southern Ocean phytoplankton communities acclimate to rapid
fluctuations in irradiance levels that result from deep wind‐driven mixing of the upper water …

We studied the seasonal dynamics of suspended particulate matter in a turbid, large shallow
lake during an annual period (2005–06). We relate the patterns of seston concentration …
