Dependence of mean spectral extinction coefficient of phytoplankton on depth, water color, and species

“…A value of k, of 0.016 has been previously estimated (Bannister 1974b Dubinsky and Berman (1976) calculated for the 1% light level (about 10 m) in Lake Kinneret. In July in this lake, water color is green and green algae are abu_ndant.…”

“…mg-' Chl a) of phytoplankton in a water column has importance in understanding the attenuation of photosynthetically active irradiance (360-700 nm) with depth, in calculating the rate of photosynthesis at a particular depth (Bannister 1974a), and in estimating the quantum yield of photosynthesis in situ (Dubinsky and Berman 1976;Tyler 1975). It has been common to treat Kc as a constant independent of algal type, water color, and depth.…”

Control of primary productivity and the significance of photosynthetic bacteria in a meromictic kettle lake. Mittlerer Buchensee, West-Germany

“…In the case of Mittlerer Buchensee, no close relationship between both parameters was apparent (cf Table 1). (Bannister (1974)). As with Zeu, the Secchi depth was not correlated with mean Chla concentrations in the uppermost 4.5 meters (Chla4.5) (Tab.…”

Caractéristiques photosynthétiques deChlorella sorokinianaShihira & Krauss, en relation avec l'intensité lumineuse et la température. Corrélation avec le taux de croissance

“…Plusieurs formulations mathématiques de la courbe de saturation décrivant la variation du taux d'activité photosynthétique par unité de biomasse (P) en fonction de l'intensité (I) de la lumière ont été développées dans différents travaux (Tailing 1957, Rodhe 1965, Vollenweider 1965, Bannister 1974, Jassby & Platt 1976, Peeters & Eilers 1978. Parmi ces modèles, l'équation de Peeters & Eilers (1978) (1) permet un bon ajustement aux points expérimentaux.…”
