Photosynthesis in the Marine Environment constitutes a comprehensive explanation of photosynthetic processes as related to the special environment in which marine plants live. The first part of the book introduces the different photosynthesising organisms of the various marine habitats: the phytoplankton (both cyanobacteria and eukaryotes) in open waters, and macroalgae, marine angiosperms and photosymbiont-containing invertebrates in those benthic environments where there is enough light fPhotosynthesisPlantsEffect of underwater light onAquatic plantsEcophysiologyUnderwater lightElectronic books.Photosynthesis.PlantsEffect of underwater light on.Aquatic plantsEcophysiology.Underwater light.581.7/6Beer Sven1949-933202Björk MatsBeardall JohnThompson SteveMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464662303321Photosynthesis in the marine environment2100474UNINA
