Eventually, however, terrestrial red and green algae and the first lichens developed on land and the final big rise in oxygen may have been caused by the «greening of the continents from around 800 million years ago,» when these simple early lifeforms on land steadily spread and broke down rocks that sustained a higher rate of erosion and led to the release of more nutrients into the oceans that stimulated even more photosynthesis by more newly evolved algae as well as older cyanobacteria (Nick Lane, New Scientist, February 10, 2010).

The idea that you could ever replace the rate of utilization of energy from fossil fuels, which has been estimated as consuming 400 years worth of photosynthesis per year, with a fraction of the annual photosynthetic harvest that does not impinge on food production is part of today's magical thinking, along with reducing deficits by cutting taxes while continuing to increase spending.

This limits photosynthesis and the rate of decomposition starts to take over.

It represents the maximum rate at which the light independent reactions of photosynthesis can use energy from chlorophyll.

It doesn't look like clouds or solar intensity are all that important, since photosynthesis rates peak at only one - fourth of full sunlight intensity.

It also suggests that water availability is a more important factor in the rate of photosynthesis.

This occurs when additional nutrients promote atmospheric carbon sequestration via enhanced photosynthesis leading to accelerated rates of organic carbon sedimentation and burial.

Research suggests that when there's more carbon dioxide in the air, trees grow more quickly because the rate of photosynthesis speeds up.

Elevated CO2 could benefit crops yields in short term by increasing photosynthesis rates, however, there is big uncertainty in the magnitude of the CO2 effect and that interactions with other factors.

So, consistent with previous research, the study finds that trees can use water more efficiently when there's more carbon dioxide in the air, which makes their rate of photosynthesis increase.

Increasing atmospheric CO2 will tend to increase rates of photosynthesis and reduce evapotranspiration and / or increase leaf areas.

This spurs higher rates of photosynthesis and biomass production, so the plants produce more sediment - trapping growth above ground and generate more organic soil below ground.»

Accordingly numerous studies have reported that greater rates of photosynthesis correlate with greater rates of calcification.

If coral do not acidify their symbionts» surroundings, the limiting supply of CO2 would dramatically decrease the rate of photosynthesis.

Again, this is a new phenomenon and, as with more photosynthesis from plants, has a mutually reinforcing (positive feedback) effect; accelerating the rate of climate change.

There are two primary externalities that result from our emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere — 1) an enhancement of the greenhouse effect, which results in an alteration of the energy flow in the earth's climate and a general tendency to warm the global average surface temperature, and 2) an enhancement of the rate of photosynthesis in plants and a general tendency to result in more efficient growth and an overall healthier condition of vegetation (including crops).

you may observe that at around 400 ppmv, the net rate of photosynthesis in ideal greenhouse conditions begins to gain much less per additional unit of CO2; we've already hit the point of diminishing returns and by Liebig's Law of the Minimum can say with some confidence that experiments could find that additional CO2 on plants in the wild may be net detrimental right now.

While lots of carbon cycles in and out of the atmosphere from photosynthesis and decay (most of that 95 % figure), the planet has a (comparably) very slow rate of removing carbon from the atmosphere and oceans for geological timescales — only enough to roughly cancel out volcanoes and other proportionally very small «old carbon» sources.

[Response: Your argument misses the point in three different and important ways, not even considering whether or not the Black Hills data have any general applicability elsewhere, which they may or may not: (1) It ignores the point made in the post about the potential effect of previous, seasonal warming on the magnitude of an extreme event in mid summer to early fall, due to things like (especially) a depletion in soil moisture and consequent accumulation of degree days, (2) it ignores that biological sensitivity is far FAR greater during the warm season than the cold season for a whole number of crucial variables ranging from respiration and photosynthesis to transpiration rates, and (3) it ignores the potential for derivative effects, particularly fire and smoke, in radically increasing the local temperature effects of the heat wave.

C (or methane hydrates / clathrates, in case that isn't considered geologic)-RRB-, Halting all marine photosynthesis and letting respiration / decay continue at the same rate (it would actually decay over time as less organic C would be available) would result in an O2 decrease at a rate of about 0.011 % per year, but it could only fall at that rate for about 3 weeks, with a total O2 decrease of about 0.000675 % (relative to total O2, and not counting organic C burial, which wouldn't make a big difference); Halting all land photosynthesis and letting respirationd / decay proceed at the same rate would cause O2 to fall about 0.027 % per year for about 19 years, with a total drop of about 0.52 %.

You said, «Halting all marine photosynthesis and letting respiration / decay continue at the same rate (it would actually decay over time as less organic C would be available) would result in an O2 decrease at a rate of about 0.011 % per year, but it could only fall at that rate for about 3 weeks, with a total O2 decrease of about 0.000675 %»

They attribute the stunted growth rates to these warmer temperatures — theorizing that they may be slowing the process of photosynthesis, limiting the trees» ability to absorb carbon dioxide, and speeding up respiration, causing the trees to release more carbon dioxide.

As more carbon dioxide dissolves into the water column, phytoplankton are able to increase their rate of photosynthesis, resulting in the production of more dissolved organic matter and the release of various nutrients.
