Estimating photosynthetic activity in microbial mats in an ice-covered Antarctic lake using automated oxygen microelectrode profiling and variable chlorophyll fluorescence

An automated oxygen microprofiler measured a positive flux of oxygen from microbial mats in ice-covered Lake Hoare, Antarctica, from noon, at a photon flux of 20 μmol m-2 s-1, through to midnight (< 2 μmol photons m-2 s-1). Daily average oxygen flux was 200 μmol m-2 h-1; and, whereas it was maxim...
