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 next century. Despite numerous
physiological studies of UV-B effects on plants, often grown in
climate chambers, knowledge of UV-B effects on organisms and
processes in natural aquatic or terrestrial ecosystems is poor.
Currently it appears that UV-B radiation is not just an
environmental stress' factor to plants. In various ways, which are
incompletely understood, UV-B affects a wide range of physiological
and ecological processes. Remarkably, recent field studies indicate
that enhanced UV-B does not markedly affect photosynthesis, growth
and primary production, but rather interferes with plant
morphogenesis and plant and ecosystem functions relating to the
secondary metabolism. This special issue and book UV-B and
Biosphere is an attempt to cover this range and to report the
progress made in the research of ecological effects of enhanced
solar UV-B radiation. The papers in this book formed the basis of
an international workshop entitled' UV-B and Biosphere' , December
15-18, 1995, in Wageningen, The Netherlands. A first reaction of
Hans de Boois on the number of papers and sessions scheduled from
Friday to Sunday morning was: far too many.
