Limnology
Absorption is the process through which light is taken up by substances in water, such as dissolved organic matter, phytoplankton, and sediment. This phenomenon significantly affects the amount of light that penetrates aquatic environments, influencing photosynthesis, aquatic ecosystems, and overall water clarity. The degree of absorption varies with wavelength and the specific properties of the absorbing materials.
