1. The effect of light on photosynthesis has a clear saturating pattern: more light results in more photosynthesis but eventually leaves cannot take full advantage of all the extra light.
2. Carbon becomes locked as part of the accumulating plant biomass as plants grow.
3. Transpiration decreases as air becomes drier.
4. The rate of respiration decreases with temperature.
5. Photosynthesis of a tree canopy is driven or influenced by
6. At low air humidity, a plant closes its stomata to prevent transpiration. The action also decreases photosynthesis
7. Plant respiration captures CO2.
8. In general, the more carbon dioxide that is available to the plant, the faster the rate of photosynthesis – if other factors are favourable.
9. Leaf area increases with stand age, resulting in a decreasing rate of photosynthesis in the stand.
10. Carbon capture is performed by the green parts of plants via photosynthesis.
11. The annual cycle of photosynthesis mainly follows
12. A complex microbiota lives belowground, releasing carbon dioxide to the soil.
13. De-hardening in spring involves gradual re-hydration of the cells, recovery of photosynthetic capacity and a tight control of water loss.
14. High soil moisture leads to decreased photosynthesis.
15. To transform atmospheric CO2 into organic molecules, plants can use the energy from
