M. Lichtenberg, K. Elgetti Brodersen, M. Kuhl
The paper measures radiative energy budgets and photosynthetic efficiency in coral reef sediments and cyanobacterial biofilms under different light conditions, finding high heat dissipation and variable efficiency based on light directionality and environmental factors.
