Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) measurements in the field during partial-sun to full-sun conditions and in laboratory culture columns. Treatments refer to tall (9.5 d × 125 h cm) and short (9.5 d × 15 h cm) column dimensions. Columns in the 2005 lab treatment measured 8 d × 15 h cm. PAR units are 𝜇 mol s−1m−2.
