Photophysiological measurements of five macroalgal species collected during the winter-spring transition on Tromsøya. Rolf Gradinger produced this data using variable fluorescence tools to estimate photosynthetic efficiency across species including Pelvetia canaliculate and Fucus serratus. The dataset focuses on electron transport rates and irradiance curve parameters in the intertidal zone.
Use Cases
- Analyzing the photosynthetic efficiency of Fucus serratus using quantum yield estimates
- Modeling electron transport rates (ETR) versus irradiance for intertidal species
- Comparing the alpha parameter across different littoral species on Tromsøya
Strengths
- Includes 5 distinct species of intertidal macroalgae
- Uses standardized variable fluorescence tools for physiological estimation
- Focuses on the specific winter-spring transition period
Limitations
- Geographically restricted to the intertidal zone of Tromsøya
- Unknown total record count and sample size
- Temporal coverage limited to the winter-spring transition
