The peatlands of Tierra del Fuego are subject to increased solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) due to the influence of the Antarctic "ozone hole". Research into the effects of climate change and ozone depletion on peatlands has predominantly focused on the higher plant community and neglected other organisms. In the second 3-year portion of a 6-year experiment, we intensified our investigations of the response of the peatland surface microfaunal community to current and attenuated solar UV-B, and assessed possible links to changes in the microenvironment. Near-ambient UV-B and reduced UV-B treatments were realised by stretching plastic film filters that differentially attenuate UV-B over peatland sample plots. We extracted the microfauna a...
