Carbon becomes locked as part of the accumulating plant biomass as plants grow.

Transpiration decreases as air becomes drier.

The rate of respiration decreases with temperature.

A complex microbiota lives belowground, releasing carbon dioxide to the soil.

As plants respire, they release

Plants open its stomata to avoid losing too much water.

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.

Leaf area increases with stand age, resulting in a decreasing rate of photosynthesis in the stand.

In some part of the stems, some photosynthesis may also occur.

When there is low soil moisture, plants close its stomata pores which then decreases photosynthesis.

Carbon capture is performed by the green parts of plants via photosynthesis.

De-hardening in spring involves gradual re-hydration of the cells, recovery of photosynthetic capacity and a tight control of water loss.

Photosynthesis of a tree canopy is driven or influenced by

At low air humidity, a plant closes its stomata to prevent transpiration. The action also decreases photosynthesis

To transform atmospheric CO₂ into organic molecules, plants can use the energy from
