Sentences with phrase «photosynthetic rate»
The phrase "photosynthetic rate" refers to the speed at which plants can convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into energy or food (glucose). It measures how efficiently plants can produce this energy through the process of photosynthesis. Full definition
In the case of the cyanobacterial mat - covered polygonal ponds on Bylot Island, the negative CO2 flux most likely resulted from high photosynthetic rates in the mats, and the modern dates for CH4 suggest that abundant labile compounds coming from a modern autochthonous pool could be the main C supply for microbial activity, including methanogenesis.

We also find that increases in photosynthetic rates associated with increases in ambient [CO2] over forthcoming decades should more than offset any decline in photosynthetic productivity due to higher D or TL or increased autotrophic respiration rates as a consequence of higher tissue temperatures.
«Two weeks after flooding treatment with simulated salt water, net photosynthetic rate of broccoli, kale, spinach, and tomato was reduced by 43 % to 67 %, transpiration rate by 35 % to 66 %, and stomatal conductance by 51 % to 82 %.»
Tree ring growth has to be dependant upon photosynthetic rate, which is not dependant upon temperature.

As an ecologist, I would like to comment on a statement on the page: «A producing farm undoubtedly has a higher animal biomass than virgin forest as well as a higher photosynthetic rate.
Fast - growing plants have higher photosynthetic rates, which are also influenced by light, temperature, vapor pressure deficit, and carbon dioxide.
But no one knows for sure whether the fungi can make use of the extra carbon supplied by plants when they raise their photosynthetic rate.
