Creator:: Cavanaugh, William M.
Abstract:: Reduction of stratospheric ozone caused by human perturbation with halocarbon compounds and the consequent increase in mid-wavelength ultraviolet radiation (UV-B radiation. 290-320 nm) reaching the earth's surface could have deleterious ecological effects on marine primary producers. Unialgal and mixed cultures of Thalassiosira pseudonana and Thalassiosira weisflogii were exposed to three...
