affected by temperature than photosynthesis. This situation can be summarized simplistically<br />

to growth may limit photosynthesis at low temperature but photosynthesis<br />

will limit growth at high temperature. Therefore, high temperature stress effects on<br />

photosynthesis are especially important.<br />

2. EFFECTS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE STRESS<br />

Biological systems can operate over a very wide range <strong>of</strong> temperature. Deep sea vent<br />

organisms live at >110°C (Blöchl et al., 1997) while other organisms survive < -40°C <strong>and</strong><br />

many organisms are biologically active at
