- Observation The hornwort occupied wet, heavily shaded sites.
- Observation Maximum site photon flux density was below 10mol m-2 s-1.
- Association Site PFD varied weakly during the day and exponentially with full sunlight PFD.
- Observation Reflected surface water light transiently doubled the midday maximum PFD.
- Observation Sunflecks had little impact on site PFD.
- Association Carotenoid content was the same under low and higher light.
- Association High-light plants had approximately twice the chlorophyll content of low-light plants.
- Observation Low-light thallus extracts had an absorbance band around 340 nm absent from high-light extracts.
