Question:
Transpiration decreases as air becomes drier.
Response:
As plants respire, they release
oxygen.
carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis releases oxygen whereas respiration releases CO2.
Almost half of the total biomass of a tree may be allocated to the roots.
In general, the more carbon dioxide that is available to the plant, the faster the rate of photosynthesis - if other factors are favourable.
Plant respiration captures CO2.
Unlike photosynhesis, plant respiration captures atmospheric oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
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.
A complex microbiota lives belowground, releasing carbon dioxide to the soil.
Plants open its stomata to avoid losing too much water.
Plant closes its stomata to avoid losing too much water.
High soil moisture leads to decreased photosynthesis.
In boreal upland forests, low soil moisture decreases the rate of photosynthesis.
The rate of respiration decreases with temperature.
Photosynthesis of a tree canopy is driven or influenced by
soil moisture (REW).
air temperature (T).
the total leaf area (LAI).
photosynthetically active solar radiation (PAR).
air humidity (VPD).
atmospheric CO2.
The annual cycle of photosynthesis mainly follows
the changes in light.
the changes in CO2 concentration.
the changes in air temperature.
the changes in soil temperature.
In some part of the stems, some photosynthesis may also occur.
To transform atmospheric CO2 into organic molecules, plants can use the energy from
soil heat.
atmospheric oxygen.
soil nutrients.
sun light.
Photoinhibition means the decrease in photosynthesis due to
exposure to shortage of soil moisture.
exposure to high temperature.
exposure to excess of light.
exposure to excess of CO2.
exposure to excess of CO2
exposure to high temperature
exposure to shortage of soil moisture
