Application and assessment of multi-wavelength measurements of variable chlorophyll a fluorescence for analysis of irradiance stress, physiological state and community composition in freshwater phytoplankton
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-24)Phytoplankton are a diverse group of organisms of fundamental importance in aquatic ecosystems. Exposure to high levels of photosynthetically active and ultraviolet radiation (PAR and UVR) is unavoidable for most phytoplankton ... -
Investigating the use of variable fluorescence methods to detect phytoplankton nutrient deficiency
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-29)Variable fluorescence of chlorophyll a (Fv/Fm), measured by pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometers, is an attractive target for phytoplankton-related water quality management. Lowered Fv/Fm is believed to reflect ...
