Measuring Light and Photosynthesis (PAR): Complicated, but Worth It

Gaylon Campbell
Dr. Gaylon S. Campbell discusses how to measure light and photosynthesis (PAR) in canopies and why it’s helpful to researchers. The ultimate source of all energy on earth is the sun. Availability of this energy to most organisms occurs through photosynthesis, the conversion of CO2 and H2O to carbohydrates (stored energy) and O2. Photosynthesis occurs […] The post Measuring Light and Photosynthesis (PAR): Complicated, but Worth It appeared first on Environmental Biophysics .
