Fjord light regime: Bio‐optical variability, absorption budget, and hyperspectral light availability in Sognefjord and Trondheimsfjord, Norway
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2016jc012610
Abstract: Optically active constituents (OACs) in addition to water molecules attenuate light via processes of absorption and scattering and thereby determine underwater light availability. An analysis of their optical properties helps in determining the contribution of… read more here.

Light availability rather than Fe controls the magnitude of massive phytoplankton bloom in the Amundsen Sea polynyas, Antarctica

DOI: 10.1002/lno.10565
Abstract: Amundsen Sea polynyas are among the most productive, yet climate-sensitive ecosystems in the Southern Ocean and host massive annual phytoplankton blooms. These blooms are believed to be controlled by iron fluxes from melting ice and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11734
Abstract: The balance of physical and biological processes governing phytoplankton growth rates and the accumulation of biomass is widely debated in the literature, notably during the winter–spring transition. Here we show, in a temperate shelf sea… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.08.015
Abstract: Abstract Coppice forestry is a conventional silvicultural practice that takes advantage of a tree’s capacity to respond to disturbances by sprouting. Sprouting capacity is determined by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as parent tree… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118314
Abstract: Abstract The success of tree regeneration in forests strongly depends on light availability. In structured uneven-aged deciduous forests with continuous cover, radiation regimes in the understorey are typically characterized by low and heterogeneous light transmittance.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118607
Abstract: Abstract Radial and height growth rates are suitable indicators of impending tree mortality risk of adult trees, but their applicability to saplings remains unknown. We compared radial growth of living and dead saplings of different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jpe/rtaa095
Abstract: Screening tree species in tropical rainforest according to their shade tolerance is important to efficiently manage the native trees of economic significance in secondary forest enrichment regimes. The objective of this study was to determine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpx027
Abstract: Leaf-level anatomical variation is readily apparent within tall tree crowns, yet the relative importance of water and light availability in controlling this variation remains unclear. Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis, (Bong.) Carr.) thrives in temperate rainforests… read more here.

Experimental test of the influence of light availability on the evolution of eye size and behaviour in Daphnia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of Evolutionary Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14175
Abstract: There exists extensive variation in eye size. Much work has provided a connection between light availability and differences in eye size across taxa. Experimental tests of the role of the light environment on the evolution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16619
Abstract: Light availability is the main regulator of primary production, shaping photosynthetic communities and their production of ecologically important biomolecules. In freshwater ecosystems, increasing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, commonly known as browning, leads to lower… read more here.
