【 摘 要 】

This volume contains a set of eight papers presenting the results of the latest researchinto the interaction of light with marine phytoplanktonby teams from the Marine Physics Department at the IO PAS in Sopot, and the Department ofEnvironmental Physics at the Pedagogical University of Slupsk. These results were presentedatthe 'Second Workshop on Luminescence and Photosynthesis of Marine Phytoplankton'(Sopot-Paraszyno, 11-15 October 1999) sponsored by the Polish State Committee for Scientific Research.This introductory article discusses the most important assumptions and objectives of theresearch, and outlines the latest results. These are subsequently discussed in detail in thefollowing papers:(1) Majchrowski & Ostrowska, Influence of photo- and chromatic acclimation on pigment composition in the sea, (2) Wozniak et al., Model of the 'in vivo' spectral absorption of algal pigments. Part 1. Mathematical apparatus,(3) Majchrowski et al., Model of the 'in vivo'spectral absorption of algal pigments. Part 2. Practical applications of the model,(4) Ostrowska et al.,Variability of the specific fluorescence of chlorophyllin the ocean.Part 1. Theory ofclassical 'in situ' chlorophyll fluorometry,(5) Ostrowska et al., Variability of the specific fluorescence of chlorophyll in the ocean. Part 2.Fluorometric method of chlorophyll a determination,(6) Ficek et al., Influence of non-photosynthetic pigments on the measured quantum yield of photosynthesis,(7) Ficek et al., Variability of the portion of functional PS2 reaction centres in the light of a fluorometric study.
For the reader's convenience, we append a list of the symbols denoting the physicalquantities used in the texts. The nomenclature and denotations are in line with the conventionsemployed in the subject literature.
