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

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

Almost half of the total biomass of a tree may be allocated to the roots.

Photosynthesis of a tree canopy is driven or influenced by

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

The annual cycle of photosynthesis mainly follows

In general, the more carbon dioxide that is available to the plant, the faster the rate of photosynthesis - if other factors are favourable.

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.

As plants respire, they release

Transpiration decreases as air becomes drier.

Plants open its stomata to avoid losing too much water.

Photoinhibition means the decrease in photosynthesis due to

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

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.
