The potential of algae to acclimate to environmental stress is commonly assessed using chlorophyllafluorescence, with changes in parameters of photosynthesis versus irradiance (P/E) curves measured either as rapid light curves (RLC) or steady-state light curves (LC). Here, effects of emersion on primary photosynthesis of four brown macroalgae (Ascophyllum nodosum,Fucus serratus,Sargassum muticum,Laminaria digitata) were compared by applying both RLC and LC. When LC were used, photosynthetic performance was enhanced during emersion inA. nodosumandF. serratusas shown by increases in qP, rETRmaxandEk. By contrast, emersion had no impact on photosynthetic parameters ofS. muticumandL. digitata. Relative changes in the NPQ–rETR relationship were reduced inA. nodosum,F. serratusandS. muticum, but remained unaffected inL. digitata. As none of the species developed their potential NPQmax, corresponding values could not be determined from RLC. Using RLC, observed photosynthetic performance ofF. serratusandL. digitatawas reduced upon emersion, whilst values for NPQmaxwere enhanced. Only results derived from LC provide evidence for a potential physiological adaptation of brown macroalgae to their natural habitat; it is recommended using the LC protocol to detect environmental impacts on photosynthesis.
