Effect of dehydration on spectral reflectance and photosynthetic efficiency in Umbilicaria arctica and U. hyperborea

Abstract: In many polar and alpine ecosystems, lichens of genus Umbilicaria represent dominant species forming community structure. Photosynthetic and spectral properties of the lichens may change rapidly according to an actual hydration status of their thalli. In this study, we investigated responses of photochemical reflectance index (PRI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), effective quantum yield of photosynthetic efficiency of photosystem (PS) II (Φ PSII ), and several photosynthetic parameters derived … Show more

“…Similar findings were also reported for Salix viminalis trees [112], eggplant [88] and oak and beech trees [86], where the sizes of the pigment pools contributed to most of the PRI variability and thus limited its use for RUE estimation on long timescales. Changes in pigment concentrations due to water stress, however, could also potentially affect the seasonal variability of PRI [118][119][120], but these changes varied between species such as Umbilicaria arctica and U. hyperborean [118]. PRI clearly differentiated between normal and stressed holm oaks but was not very informative under a severe drought [121], and could generally detect the physiological status of water-stressed plants but was not useful for the drought-tolerant species Elaeagnus umbellate [122].…”

“…Thus, in higher plants, PRI decreases with desiccation (Sun et al ) because of involvement of protective mechanisms including increased de‐epoxidation of carotenoids. In contrast to higher plants, an increase in PRI with dehydration is reported in some lichens (Barták et al ). In cyanobacteria, PRI in response to desiccation could not relate to dehydration‐induced activation of the xanthophyll cycle, since cyanobacteria lack it.…”

“…In lichens, OJIP is used to evaluate the responses of thalli to rehydration at different temperatures (Oukarroum et al 2012, Barták et al 2015b, photoinhibition (Balarinová et al 2014), ultraviolet radiation (Medina et Avalos-Chacon 2015), and fast reoxidation of PS I (Ilík et al 2006). In this study, we applied fast chlorophyll fluorescence transients to evaluate the response of Dermatocarpon polyphyllizum, an Antarctic chlorolichen, to a short-term decrease in thallus temperature.…”
