The overall objective of this study was the estimation of the early, mid- and long-term effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR: 280–400 nm, further divided into UVBR: 280–320 nm and UVAR: 320–400 nm) on the succession of benthic primary producers in the presence or absence of grazers.
In particular the impact of ambient (and enhanced) UVR on the succession of micro- and macroalgae will be determined in the rocky intertidal in Potter Cove on King George Island, Antarctica.
