The flux, or movement, of carbon between the atmosphere and the earth's land and oceans is dominated by natural processes like plant photosynthesis.

On the other hand, this option would also exclude the sequestration benefits provided by plant photosynthesis in growing biofuel and biomass crops.

Other factors may be changes in the amount of carbon in leaves, wood or roots; changes in the extent or species composition of ecosystems; or changes in the timing of plant photosynthesis and respiration.

Intriguingly, between September 1997 and August 2000, the team found, global plant photosynthesis increased.

The higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide «typically boosts the optimum temperature for plant photosynthesis by several degrees [Celsius],» he said, adding:

In the current issue of Plant Cell, they describe how they fabricated a synthetic protein that not only improves the assembly of the carbon - fixing factory of cyanobacteria, but also provides a proof of concept for a device that could potentially improve plant photosynthesis or be used to install new metabolic pathways in bacteria.

All over the world researchers are investigating solar cells which imitate plant photosynthesis, using sunlight and water to create synthetic fuels such as hydrogen.

«A lot of biologists are very interested in this machine because they want answers to the question of how plant photosynthesis is affected, because photosynthesis is the key to our life and health,» said Tanaka.

And as to his claim that there may be «places around the world where global warming will lead to less crop success and yield, even when taking into account the carbon dioxide fertilization effect,» he appears to be equally ignorant that rising levels of atmospheric CO2 tend to raise the temperature of optimum plant photosynthesis beyond the predicted temperature values associated with global warming, effectively nullifying this worn out claim (Idso & Idso, 2011).

«Through our joint R&D efforts with Philips, we continue to innovate and perfect LED lighting for indoor growing systems that can maximize plant photosynthesis, while minimizing energy use for the most delicious and nutritious vegetables grown in a sustainable manner,» said Robert Colangelo, founding farmer / president of Green Sense Farms.

Doubling of the carbon dioxide concentration will cause global plant photosynthesis to increase by about one third, according to new research.

Chloroplast, the compartment responsible for plant photosynthesis, is a key component of this signaling pathway.

«It presents a promising target for research into techniques that could help improve plant photosynthesis and crop yields.»

Wennberg says that combining such measurements with OCO - 2 data could help researchers to detect hourly variations in CO2 production caused by plant photosynthesis — or even by rush - hour traffic in some large urban areas.

It was designed to look at the atmospheres of exoplanets for characteristic signs of life — water vapor, methane (made by bacteria), and oxygen (made by plant photosynthesis).

Thanks to plant photosynthesis and its byproducts, we can breathe in oxygen around us and stay alive.

It is widely accepted that plant photosynthesis will increase with carbon dioxide, so long as nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, are not limiting.

Doubling of the carbon dioxide concentration will cause global plant photosynthesis to increase by about one third, according to a paper published in the journal Nature.

The weak but nevertheless detectable SIF signal emerges naturally on sunlight - exposed leaves, when chlorophyll molecules are excited by absorbed photons, and is a proxy for plant photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake by plant photosynthesis is generally seen as a way to counteract steadily increasing concentrations in atmospheric CO2 and climate change.

Soil provides an abundant, readily available storage option — one designed by nature to hold carbon removed from air by plant photosynthesis.

-- the natural eco-system could perhaps only balance off animal (including man) respiration and plant photosynthesis.

On biological carbon storage, much of the science points to the terrestial biological sink for carbon being in some trouble; warming soils mean less carbon storage in soil; plant photosynthesis might get saturated at some point, weaking that sink (plus, all the fires are counteracting that trend), and then there's the future of the permafrost and shallow marine sediments.

The study's findings not only directly proved that CO2 and the greenhouse gas effect are intimately connected, but also that plant photosynthesis can affect the planet's energy balance.

It is essential to plant photosynthesis and is a beneficial substance produced by the natural environment.
