Photosynthesis in Aquatic Plants

Abstract

To address the topic of the ecophysiology of photosynthesis in aquatic plants in the space allotted is a daunting task, and the coverage must of necessity be very selective. Since this Volume is honoring Professor Dr. Lange, I shall emphasize those aspects which interface with his work, and since the rest of the Volume deals with terrestrial plants, I shall emphasize more generally the comparison with terrestrial plants. My third objective is to address particularly those aspects which most interest me and which are, or could be, growth-points in research.
