Absorption of a photon of sunlight propels photosynthetic pigments into their excited state, from which un-utilized energy is readily transferred to oxygen. Such a transfer to oxygen can be ...

The disappearance of sea ice in polar regions due to global warming not only increases the amount of light entering the ocean, but also changes its color. These changes have far-reaching consequences ...

Melting sea ice changes not only how much light enters the ocean, but also its color, disrupting marine photosynthesis and altering Arctic ecosystems in subtle but profound ways. As global warming ...

Huisman demonstrated that these molecular absorption features ... blue-dominated spectrum. This spectral change is crucial for photosynthesis. "The photosynthetic pigments of algae living under ...
