Responses to Light in Aquatic Plants

  • Chapter
Physiological Plant Ecology I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((920,volume 12 / A))

Abstract

Aquatic environments contain a wider range of light environments than land environments. Even at a few meters’ depth, the absorbing and scattering properties of different waters yield a profoundly altered light spectrum and reduced intensity, compared to that just above the water’s surface (see also the previous Chapter of this Volume). Aquatic plants have evolved a number of light-harvesting pigment systems for trapping those portions of the visible spectrum available in different water types and depths. In contrast, terrestrial plants which receive the full visible spectrum of white light normally utilize only one light-harvesting pigment system (cf. Chap. 3, this Vol.).
