Really interesting, as are most of your postings...even when they're scary -- as this one is.

[BrunoTheQuestionable]

Thanks 2bsirius. I don't really see this as scary. Our understanding of a small part of a very complicated system has changed. However, it does mean that there are more opportunities for iron seeding of the oceans than we thought.

Great optimism

Is it the plants that are giving off the light, or is it bacteria that are fluorescing due to quorum sensing?

the plant, when it absorbs a photon for photosynthesis and somehow the reaction doesnt work properly, so that the energy gets lost somewhere along the way instead of being used productively by the plant, you might get a photon leaving the plant.

so those emissions are a very direct sign of plants in trouble, when the emitted photons directly result from failed photosynthesis reactions.

fascinating as always, thanks bruno.
