Two studies on the effects of enhanced ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB; 280--320 nm) on planktonic organisms of Canadian High Arctic lakes are presented. In the first study, the long-term effects of a moderate increase in UVB levels on the planktonic community of a lake were evaluated using in situ mes...
