| Description: |
In this study depth-integrated models of primary production (DIMs) are used to estimate water column photosynthesis as a function of chlorophyll concentration, irradiance at the surface, the penetration of photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), and parameters of the relationship between photosynthesis and PAR. The authors present a simple DIM that accounts for the spectral effects of irradiance on photosynthesis, including inhibition by UVR. [Source: GLOBAL BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES]
