As a result of adaptation to the conditions in the Arctic, benthic algae from Spitsbergen have a low requirement of light. Saturation and compensation points are low and within a range typical for shadow-tolerant plants.The values for gas exchange rates indicate that Arctic algae have lower photosynthctic capacity than temperate species.}, number={2}, journal={Polar Research}, author={Latala Adam}, year={1990}, month={Jan.}, pages={303-307} }
