Haze over Arctic forests disrupts photosynthesis
Arctic obscuration (or haze) is an optical effect observed in the northern latitudes. It is produced by different aerosol pollutants — both industrial emissions and natural factors. This hazy air is a pollutant in the atmosphere and disrupts one more important process in subarctic ecosystems – the photosynthesis of trees, thereby hampering their growth. This was reported by Vladimir Shishov, one of the authors of a study on the influence of industrial emissions on subarctic forest ecosystems. Shishov is head of the faculty of Mathematic Methods and IT at Siberian Federal University (SFU).
