  1. Photosynthesis in extreme environmentsFotosyntéza rostlin v extrémních prostředích(v extrémech prostředí) M. Barták 2014

  2. Tolerance ke stínu

  3. Tropický deštný les • http://www.docstoc.com/docs/40486058/Rainforest-Structure-Diagram

  4. Dostupné záření v úrovni půdy: 1 mikromol m-2 s-1 • Extrémně stinná stanoviště: Tropický deštný les

  6. Cryptoendolithic vegetation It is a whole ecosystem growing inside clear rocks, just a few millimeters under the surface and includes an association of bacteria and algae. It is visible as the green stripe on this split rock. Enough light and water gets through the rock for photosynthesis, and that's all you need to live, right ? Picture size about 5cm. http://www.gdargaud.net/Antarctica/Animals.html

  9. The antarctic cryptoendolithic microbial ecosystem lives under sandstone surfaces in the dry valley region (Friedmann and Ocampo,1976; Friedmann, 1977). It is relatively simple, consisting of cyanobacterial or algal primary producers, fungal consumers, and bacterial decomposers. It lacks animals and, possibly, also archaea. With rock temperatures rising above 0 °C only for a few weeks in the austral summer to allow photosynthetic productivity, this ecosystem is permanently poised on the edge of existence.

  10. Photosynthetic rates • Carl G Johnston, J Robie Vestal (1991) • Lichens: 4.5 ng C h-1 m-2 • Cyanobacteria: 3.0 ng C h-1 m-2 Please note that sample temperature was 20-30 oC

  12. Acidophilic algae The most important Photosynthetic Primary Producers in the Rio Tinto is Acidophilic Algae. These microbes also require special adaptations to withstand low pH and strong concentrations of heavy metals. Aacidophilic algae accounts for 65% of biomass within the Rio Tinto ecosystem. The organisms identified were Bacillariophyceae (Diatoms), Chlorophyta (Chlamydomonas, Klebsormidium and Zignema), Euglenozoa (Euglena), Rhodophyta (Galdieria)
