I was just looking at how different wavelengths affect chlorophyll absorption curves—do you notice anything odd about how your virtual moss reacts to short UV bursts?

Ah, the moss flickers like a neon plant in a storm, but when the UV hits it, the absorption curve takes a weird detour—spikes up, then drops faster than a seed on a windy day. It’s almost like it’s trying to play hide‑and‑seek with the light.

Interesting, that curve could mean the moss is undergoing a photo‑quenching cycle—maybe its photoprotective pigments are activating faster than the usual absorption step. Check if the spike coincides with the rise in reactive oxygen species; it could be a defensive reflex rather than a flaw in the model.

Sounds like the moss is throwing a little tantrum when the UV hits. Maybe it’s scrambling its pigments faster than the photons can soak up—defensive reflex, not a bug. Keep an eye on the ROS spike, that’ll tell if it’s really just flexing its survival muscles.

Nice analogy—just a quick check of the ROS window will confirm if it’s a genuine stress response or just a rapid pigment shuffle. If the spike stays brief and matches the UV pulse, it’s probably a built‑in photoprotection. If it lingers, we might have to dig deeper into the antioxidant pathways.
