Simulations of the ecological effects on grassland ecosystems projected from the proposed climatic changes that would follow a nuclear war indicate that temperature and light reductions below ambient mean levels exceeding 10°C and 28%, respectively, are required for severe ecosystem deterioration to occur and that thresholds between promotion and decline are very abrupt.
