Given what we know, we can confirm that although sunlight is beneficial to plant growth, intense solar radiation has been proven to be detrimental to the survival of kelp, thus reducing its biomass.
Solar radiation is not harmful in very low amounts.
However, when exposed at long intervals or high intensity, it has been shown to cause tissue damage.
This tissue damage will inhibit the kelp's ability to undergo photosynthesis.
This means it will not be able to grow, and its biomass will be reduced.
Therefore, given the effect of solar radiation in damaging the kelp's ability to photosynthesize and thus reducing its growth, we can confirm that intense or prolonged exposure to solar radiation reduces kelp biomass.
