The effect of climate change on the carbon balance between photosynthesis and respiration in planktonic and benthic microalgae

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Christian Wilhelm
• Subject Area: Oceanography
• Term: from 2015 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 274037400

• Final Report Year: 2019

Final Report Abstract

The critical evaluation of the methods of fluorescence based respiration measurements from literature showed that the methods are not sufficiently robust to be transferred to different species in a real population under changing environmental conditions. Therefore, an application neither in the lab nor in nature can be recommended based on the obtained results.
