The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, background): “UV-B has multiple effects on ecosystems, some harmful and some beneficial to individual organisms (Paul and Gwynn-Jones, 2003).”
Responses of plants in polar regions to UVB exposure: a meta‐analysis (2009, background): “Since UV-B is absorbed by DNA and biological membranes, these increased irradiances of UV-B have possible deleterious effects on plant physiology and growth, and consequences for the functioning of these ecosystems (Caldwell et al ., 1995; Rozema et al ., 1997; Paul & Gwynn-Jones, 2003).”
Terrestrial insects along elevation gradients: species and community responses to altitude (2005, background): “…to increased UV radiation For plant-feeding insects it is difficult to separate the direct effects of UV-B on the insect from the indirect effects mediated through the host plant and thus the importance of UV-B is here considered separately (Buck & Callaghan, 1999; Paul & Gwynn-Jones, 2003).”
In the light of new greenhouse technologies: 1. Plant‐mediated effects of artificial lighting on arthropods and tritrophic interactions (2010, background): “One of the most common responses of plants to enhanced UV-B light is the accumulation of UV-screening phenolic metabolites, such as flavonoids and related phenolic compounds (Paul & Gwynn-Jones, 2003; Lambers et al., 2008, pp. 237–239).”
Solar UV‐B decreases decomposition in herbaceous plant litter in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina: potential role of an altered decomposer community (2003, background): “We found a clear influence of UV-B on the fungal community; however, all the mechanisms by which UVB alters the decomposer community are not known (Paul & Gwynn-Jones, 2003).”
