"Marine photosynthesis provides for at least half of the primaryproduction worldwide..."
Photosynthesis in the Marine Environment constitutes acomprehensive explanation of photosynthetic processes as related tothe special environment in which marine plants live. The first partof the book introduces the different photosynthesising organisms ofthe various marine habitats: the phytoplankton (both cyanobacteriaand eukaryotes) in open waters, and macroalgae, marine angiospermsand photosymbiont-containing invertebrates in those benthicenvironments where there is enough light for photosynthesis tosupport growth, and describes how these organisms evolved. Thespecial properties of seawater for sustaining primary productionare then considered, and the two main differences betweenterrestrial and marine environments in supportingphotosynthesis and plant growth are examined, namely irradiance andinorganic carbon. The second part of the book outlines the generalmechanisms of photosynthesis, and then points towards thedifferences in light-capturing and carbon acquisition betweenterrestrial and marine plants. This is followed by discussing theneed for a CO 2 concentrating mechanism in most of thelatter, and a description of how such mechanisms function indifferent marine plants. Part three deals with the various ways inwhich photosynthesis can be measured for marine plants, with anemphasis on novel in situ measurements, includingdiscussions of the extent to which such measurements can serve as aproxy for plant growth and productivity. The final chapters of thebook are devoted to ecological aspects of marine plantphotosynthesis and growth, including predictions for the future.
