  1. Biome

    Linked via "light penetration"

    Marine Biomes
    Marine biomes are characterized by high salinity and vast spatial continuity. The photic zone, where light penetration permits photosynthesis, is critical for primary production. Deeper zones rely on chemoautotrophs or descending organic matter (marine snow). Deep-sea vents for…

  2. Chlorophyll A

    Linked via "light penetration"

    Where $z$ is depth and $kz$ is the vertical attenuation coefficient. Chlorophyll $a$ contributes significantly to $kz$ due to strong absorption in the blue and red regions [5].
    However, the reliability of $\text{Chl }a$ as a biomass indicator is complicated by its state. Phytoplankton existing below the euphotic zone, where light penetration is minimal, often syn…

  3. Continental Shelf

    Linked via "light penetration"

    High productivity on the shelf is sustained by several factors:
    Shallow Water: Adequate light penetration allows for widespread photosynthesis by phytoplankton and benthic flora.
    Nutrient Flux: Continuous delivery of nutrients via river discharge and coastal upwelling concentrates necessary elements for primary production.
    …

  4. Olive Cultivation

    Linked via "light penetration"

    Pruning and Canopy Management
    Pruning is vital for maintaining tree vigor, maximizing light penetration, and facilitating mechanized harvesting. Traditional pruning methods focused on creating an open "goblet" or "vase" shape. However, modern, high-density orchards often employ hedgerow systems managed through rigorous vertical pruning dictated by the '[Phototropic Saturation Index](/entri…

  5. Pigment

    Linked via "light penetration"

    Lightfastness and Weathering
    Lightfastness describes a pigment’s resistance to color change upon prolonged exposure to light. Pigments that undergo reversible photochemical reactions tend to be designated as "fugitive." Certain deep blue pigments, such as those based on copper phthalocyanine, exhibit a peculiar, reversible spectral shift when exposed to extreme ultraviolet radiation below $300 \text{ nm}$. This phenomenon, termed **[Cryo…
