In the present study, variability in phytoplankton photosynthetic parameters of the Douro estuary was analyzed using data from photosynthesis-irradiance (P-E) incubations performed during seasonal tidal cycles, as well as during monthly surveys carried out along a salinity gradient. Tidal surveys were conducted in October 2003 and January, May, and July 2004. Monthly surveys were conducted from December 2002 to December 2003. Diel variability in P-E parameters was highest during the summer survey. The highest values of the biomass-specific maximum photosynthetic rate Pmax were generally observed around noon or in the afternoon, and correlated positively with photosynthetic efficiency α. Seasonal variability in Pmax and α was mostly related to temperature and light, whereas photoacclimation seemed to be the most important factor in diel variability. Spatially, variability increased upstream for mean Pmax and α values, associated with higher chlorophyll a concentration and temperature. By combining a temperature-limiting function with the Steele P-E equation, 60% of Pmax variation was explained. Analysis of inter-seasonal, intra-seasonal, and diel variability of photosynthetic parameters suggests that, in the Douro, photosynthetic parameters Pmax and α are most variable at a seasonal timescale, while for optimal light intensity Eopt, diel variability was, as expected, highest. Thus, predictive models of primary productivity should take into account this seasonal variability when looking at larger timescales.
