- Plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and water for photosynthesis to produce oxygen and carbohydrates that plants use for energy and growth. Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere drive an increase in plant photosynthesis—an effect known as the carbon fertilization effect.

Jan 27, 2022 · Plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and water for photosynthesis to produce oxygen and carbohydrates that plants use for energy and growth. Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere drive an increase in plant photosynthesis—an effect known as the carbon fertilization effect.
Jun 23, 2022 · Carbon Dioxide is critical for plants. It’s a key part of photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn CO2, water and sunlight into the sugars they need to grow – and the oxygen life on Earth needs to survive.
Jul 20, 2018 · How plants use carbon affects their response to climate change. Under warmer conditions, plants can take up more carbon dioxide by using carbon more efficiently for growth, shows a new study. Plants take in – or ‘fix’ – carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
Nov 17, 2023 · Plants take up CO₂ through photosynthesis. This process uses the Sun’s energy to convert – or “fix” – CO₂ from the air into the sugars plants use for growth and metabolic activity. Plants...

Jan 28, 2022 · Elevated levels of CO 2 from climate change may enable plants to benefit from the carbon fertilization effect and use less water to grow, but it's not all good news for plants.
Since photosynthesis and stomatal behavior are central to plant carbon and water metabolism, growth of plants under elevated CO 2 leads to a large variety of secondary effects on plant...
