“…More information on fluorescence analysis can be gained from the reviews by Maxwell & Johnson (2000), Murchie & Lawson (2013) and Kalaji et al (2017). Estimation of production from growth or increase in biomass is outlined in Dokulil & Teubner (2020).…”

“…Epiphyte production in both lakes was very low in comparison with that of phytoplankton and macrophytes 0.01, 5.04, and 6.97 g C m -2 day -1 , respectively, in Lake Võrtsjärv, and 0.02, 1.93, and 10.5 g C m -2 day -1 , respectively, in Lake Peipsi. Production of the littoral area contributed 10% of the total summer primary production of Lake Peipsi and 35.5% of the total summer production of Lake Võrtsjärv (see also Table 7 in Dokulil & Teubner, 2020).…”

The review intends to give an overview on developments, success, results of photosynthetic research and on primary productivity of algae both freshwater and marine with emphasis on more recent discoveries. Methods and techniques are briefly outlined focusing on latest improvements. Light harvesting and carbon acquisition are evaluated as a basis of regional and global primary productivity and algal growth. Thereafter, long-time series, remote sensing and river production are exemplified and linked to the potential effects of climate change. Lastly, the synthesis seeks to put the life achievements of Colin S. Reynolds into context of the subject review.

“…On average, the NPP for deserts is roughly an order of magnitude lower than savannas, whose characteristic NPP is ∼ 0.7 kg m −2 yr −1 (Field et al 1998;Jackson & Jackson 2000). Among deserts, the NPP spans nearly two orders of magnitude as one transitions from the most extreme deserts with NPP of ∼ 3 × 10 −3 kg m −2 yr −1 to semi-deserts that have NPP of ∼ 0.2 kg m −2 yr −1 (Stiling 2001;Dokulil 2013).…”

One of the unique features associated with the Earth is that the fraction of its surface covered by land is comparable to that spanned by its oceans and other water bodies. Here, we investigate how extraterrestrial biospheres depend on the ratio of the surficial land and water fractions. We find that worlds that are overwhelmingly dominated by landmasses or oceans are likely to have sparse biospheres. Our analysis suggests that major evolutionary events such as the buildup of O 2 in the atmosphere and the emergence of technological intelligence might be relatively feasible only on a small subset of worlds with surface water fractions ranging approximately between 30% and 90%. We also discuss how our predictions can be evaluated by future observations, and the implications for the prevalence of microbial and technological species in the Universe.
