Measurements were carried out at two time scales (daily and annual) using the Pulse Amplitude Modulated fluorometry on samples taken in the coastal waters of a macrotidal ecosystem (the Strait of Dover, eastern English Channel). RLC and N-SSLC were compared under a wide range of environmental conditions and phytoplankton composition in order to define the best methodology to accurately capture short and long-term adjustments in the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus. The relationships between the photosynthetic parameters extracted from RLC and N-SSLC were also studied to evaluate the possibility to use RLC to predict N-SSLC photosynthetic parameters and thus obtaining the acclimation status at steady state. At daily scale, the maximum electron transport rate and light saturation coefficient resulting from RLC (respectively, ETRm_RLC and Ek_RLC) were found to follow more closely short-term environmental light variations than ETRm and Ek resulting from N-SSLC (ETRm_N-SSLC and Ek_N-SSLC) did. RLC were thus able to detect rapid changes in photosynthetic activity that would have been overlooked with N-SSLC measurements. At annual scale, few differences were found between RLC and N-SSLC. Variations of ETRm and α derived from RLC and N-SSLC were very similar but absolute values were lower for RLC measurements. Because, at daily scale, RLC better capture the short-term changes in photosynthetic activity than N-SSLC do, using RLC to predict N-SSLC photosynthetic parameters and getting information about steady-state acclimation status is not possible at this time scale. However, this can be done at seasonal scale. PY 2017 PD AUG SO Marine Biology SN 0025-3162 PU Springer Heidelberg VL 164 IS 8 UT 000410485700003 DI 10.1007/s00227-017-3208-8 ID 50596 ER EF
