The combined effects of PAR and temperature including the chilling-light stress on the photosynthesis of a temperate brown alga, Sargassum patens (Fucales), based on field and laboratory measurements

The combined effects of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and temperature on the photosynthesis of a temperate Japanese brown alga, Sargassum patens (Fucales), were determined by field and laboratory measurements. Underwater measurements of the natural population of this alga in Kagoshima, Japan, revealed that the effective quantum yield (Φ null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null...
