Far-red light enhances photosynthesis in the shade-adapted old forest lichen Lobaria pulmonaria

Far-red (FR) light (700–750 nm) is strongly enriched beneath forest canopies, but its impact on photosynthesis in shade-adapted lichens is not well understood. We investigated the role of FR light in photosynthesis of Lobaria pulmonaria , an oldforest cephalolichen. Spectral meas...
