PHOTOSYNTHESIS‐IRRADIANCE RELATIONSHIPS IN SEA ICE MICROALGAE FROM McMURDO SOUND, ANTARCTICA 1
ABSTRACT Sea ice microalgae in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica were examined for photosynthesis‐irradiance relationships and for the extent and time course of their photoadaptation to a reduction in in situ irradiance. Algae were collected from the bottom centimeter of coarse‐grained congelation ice in an...
