C: In the early to mid-Silurian period, approximately 420 million years ago, this area was covered by a shallow tropical sea jam-packed with life in the form of plant-like animals, shellfish, living corals and Molluscs.

Is there an effect on plants in the colored light, or is it just the same. Part of the plant is the chlorophyll, which is the part of that is responsible for the pigment or color found in the organism.
