| Photoinhibition of photosynthesis in natural assemblages of marine phytoplankton. If, as studies indicate, bacterioplankton and phytoplankton have differential susceptibilities to photoinhibition, the degree of nutrient competition will vary with light intensity and spectral composition. In Lee and Gould's experiment, all-green leaves seemed to suffer greater photoinhibition than did two-tone ones of the same species. |
