Seasonal Photosynthetic Capacity Changes in Lichens: A Provisional Mechanistic Interpretation
Abstract The photosynthetic capacity changes that have previously been documented in lichens are reviewed together with the mechanisms of photosynthetic capacity change in free-living algae recently proposed by Prezelin and co-workers. Examination of seasonal capacity changes in Peltigera praetextat...
