Maximum efficiency of charge separation of photosystem II of the phytoplankton community in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific off Mexico: A nutrient stress diagnostic tool?

Phytoplankton growth in oligotrophic regions might be constrained by a low photosynthetic capacity related to nutrient stress. A reduced photosynthetic capacity has been documented by low values of the maximum quantum efficiency of charge separation (Fv/Fm) of photosystem II (PSII). In the present...
