The disappearance of sea ice in polar regions due to global warming not only increases the amount of light entering the ocean ...

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

Melting polar ice narrows the light spectrum underwater, favoring blue-tuned algae and disrupting the ocean food web.

are of interest as these compounds are valuable as actinometry standards in the study of the efficiency of photosynthesis. No report seems to have been made of their absorption spectra ...

The Arctic is changing – and not just in the ways you might think. Once covered in thick, bright sea ice, the region is now ...

“The photosynthetic pigments of algae living ... “Ice has a much smoother absorption spectrum,” the researchers explained, as quoted by earth(dot)com. In contrast, water quickly absorbs ...

Without an ice layer on the ocean's surface, the light penetrating the waters changes, affecting the type of algae and ...
