Phytoplankton σPSII and Excitation Dissipation; Implications for Estimates of Primary Productivity

The effective absorption cross section for photochemistry of Photosystem II in the light (σPSII′) comprises the probability of light capture by Photosystem II and the quantum yield for subsequent photochemistry. σPSII′ is used to model photosynthesis and aquatic productivity, and phytoplankters regu...
