Summary

Abstract

Terrestrial green microalgae are among the most widespread and evolutionarily diverse organisms inhabiting terrestrial environments. In the last 30 years, ultrastructural and molecular data have led to important insights into the evolution of these organisms. It has become clear that terrestrial green algae are a highly polyphyletic group originating from the colonisation of terrestrial environments by many separate lineages of aquatic algae, both freshwater and marine. Such diversity implies great differences in physiological and biochemical attributes, with the consequence that different taxa are expected to exhibit different responses to climatic changes. Elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), variations in rainfall and humidity and increased photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are the aspects of global change that will most likely affect terrestrial green algae. The published information on impacts of global change is largely based on short-term studies, which have examined the immediate response of algae to experimental manipulation of climatic parameters. However, recent experimental long-term studies have shown that green microalgae evolve in response to climatic change, and the physiological responses of algal strains in present-day conditions might not reflect the responses of the same strains in future climate scenarios.

Introduction

As generally defined, the term algae includes all photosynthetic eukaryotes with the exception of land plants (Brodie and Zuccarello, 2007; Delwiche, 2007). Members of this highly diverse, non-monophyletic set of organisms occur in any habitat in which sufficient photon irradiance for photosynthesis is available, and they contribute to global primary production to an extent which may reach 50% (Beardall and Raven, 2004).
