Sentences with phrase «into plant tissues»

That means equivalent amounts of carbon dioxide are removed from the atmosphere and «fixed» into plant tissues.

In any community of plants and animals, the basis of the life of the community life is the plants that convert the energy from the sun, the minerals from the soil and the carbon dioxide from the air into plant tissue.

If the propagule chances to land on a dead plant, however, it sinks filaments into the plant tissue and extracts the food energy it needs to grow new hyphomas and propagules.

LEDs are effective because they can trigger a natural photo - biochemical reaction (similar to how plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into plant tissue).

Repellents: Consider repellants containing both a bittering agent and a penetrating agent to allow it to better absorb into plant tissue or other material.

Looking at the carbon fixation - organic material decomposition as a linked process, one sees that some of the carbon fixed by photosynthesis and incorporated into plant tissue is perhaps delayed from returning to the atmosphere until it is oxidised by decomposition or fire.

All plants take in CO2 when they photosynthesize, fixing it into sugar and ultimately into the plant tissue itself.

During the spring and summer, trees and other vegetation take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, incorporating some of the carbon into the plant tissue and releasing oxygen into the air.

Exploiting habitats that are often or mostly out of water required new symbiotic relationships to contain and move water, including the fusion of some fungi and algae to create lichen in communities with bacteria that survive extreme desiccation on land while breaking down rock into soil, and the association of mycorrhizae fungi and the root tissue of new vascular plants — culminating in trees that pump water high into the air — to exchange mineral nutrients (e.g., phosphorus) and usable «fixed» nitrogen from the atmosphere for photosynthetic products.

When they infiltrate a plant, they release an enzyme that causes the surrounding tissues to swell into giant cells, draining the plant's strength and leading to symptoms such as stunted growth and wilting.

Carbon fixed into plants is then cycled through plant tissues, litter and soil carbon and can be released back into the atmosphere by plant, microbial and animal respiration and other processes (e.g. forest fires) on a very wide range of time scales (seconds to millennia).

Living forests hold water while dead plant tissue are often borne in solution into ground water, streams and rivers to fertilize the oceans shallow littoral zones.

Usually what happens next is the plants decompose and the carbon in their tissues turns back into CO2.
