Investigating the use of variable fluorescence methods to detect phytoplankton nutrient deficiency

Variable fluorescence of chlorophyll a (Fv/Fm), measured by pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometers, is an attractive target for phytoplankton-related water quality management. Lowered Fv/Fm is believed to reflect the magnitude of nutrient sufficiency or deficiency in phytoplankton. This rap...
