The temperate forests of the southern hemisphere are the most likely forests to be affected by increased levels of ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation resulting from reduced ozone. The review describes these forests and then discusses the morphological changes, physiological effects, and protection mechanisms, particularly UV absorbing compounds that result from present day and increasing UVB radiation. Possible avenues for future research are explored.
南半球的温带森林是最有可能受到因臭氧减少导致的紫外线B（UVB）辐射水平增加影响的森林。本综述描述了这些森林，然后讨论了形态变化、生理效应和保护机制，特别是当今以及不断增加的UVB辐射所产生的紫外线吸收化合物。还探索了未来研究的可能途径。
