Ground level ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B; 290–320 nm) fluxes in Antarctica have been increasing due to stratospheric ozone depletion. Although mat‐forming cyanobacteria are major component of freshwater algal biomass in Antarctica, little is known about their response to increasing ultraviolet radiation (UV...
