Patterns in ultraviolet radiation sensitivity of tropical, temperate and Arctic marine macroalgae

Year: 2003

Type: book

Abstract: Marine macroalgae on rocky substrates are an important component of the coastal ecosystem in terms of biomass and diversity. Because macroalgae depend on sunlight to drive photosynthesis they also face exposure to harmful ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR: 280-315 nm). UVBR induces DNA damage (mainly cyclobutane-pyrimidine dimers, CPDs) and affects photosynthesis by causing damage to photosystem II (PSII). ... Zie: Summary
