Photosynthetic activity of Arctic Vaucheria (Xanthophyceae) measured in microcosmos
The xanthophycean alga Vaucheria inhabits very variable, and hence extreme, ecosystem of polar river estuaries. Therefore, it represents a unique system for the study of adaptation/acclimatization mechanisms. Since the ecophysiological measurements cannot be performed in the field directly, a piece...

| Summary: | The xanthophycean alga Vaucheria inhabits very variable, and hence extreme, ecosystem of polar river estuaries. Therefore, it represents a unique system for the study of adaptation/acclimatization mechanisms. Since the ecophysiological measurements cannot be performed in the field directly, a piece of Vaucheria community collected in the Adventelva estuary, Longyearbyen, Svalbard, was taken to a microcosmos in order to study it. The set of instrumentation for measurement of ecophysiological parameters was constructed for such a field study. |
