This chapter reviews the nature of pigment variations in phytoplankton in response to changes in light regime (irradiance, spectral composition and daylength). These changes …
Darkening of parts of the Greenland ice sheet surface during the summer months leads to reduced albedo and increased melting. Here we show that heavily pigmented, actively …
In this study, we show a fundamental difference between diatom species from different marine habitats in their ability to cope with changes in irradiance. Estuarine species show a …

The terminology used to describe the various components of variable chlorophyll fluorescence has evolved as our understanding of variable chlorophyll fluorescence has …
Intertidal microphytobenthic (MPB) biofilms are key sites for coastal primary production, predominantly by pennate diatoms exhibiting photo‐regulation via non‐photochemical …
In intertidal marine sediments, characterized by rapidly fluctuating and often extreme light conditions, primary production is frequently dominated by diatoms. We performed a …
In this study, an extension and actualization of a dynamic model of photosynthesis, previously published (Camacho Rubio et al., 2003), is presented. This model uses the …

Rapid light-response curves (RLC) of variable chlorophyll fluorescence were measured on estuarine benthic microalgae with the purpose of characterising its response to changes in …
Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae, Heterokontophytes) are essential aquatic eukaryotes. Their role in the structure and ecology of most of the aquatic ecosystems is crucial. Especially, their …
