Pigment composition and photoprotection of Arctic sea ice algae during spring
International audience From the beginning of spring to the melt period, ice algae in the bottom of Arctic sea ice experience a large irradiance range, varying from <0.1% up to 25 or 30% of the incoming visible radiation. The increase in spring is usually rapid, with a varying photoacclimative res...
