Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight for photosynthesis and producing oxygen and glucose. How can we determine whether carbon dioxide is actually being used or ...

A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts ... take up CO 2 in the surface ocean and as part of photosynthesis convert it to particulate and dissolved organic carbon - ...

Photosynthesis is the fixation of atmospheric ... resulting in a soil storage rate of about 3 GT C/yr. Oceanic carbon flux rates suggest oceans store about 2 GT carbon/yr despite occupying a ...

Scientists have engineered sugarcane and sorghum to take advantage of rising levels of carbon dioxide, allowing these crops ...

Root processes Roots have a major influence on soil biochemical processes. From the point of view of material fluxes, large quantities of carbon assimilated in photosynthesis is allocated belowground ...

close respirationA chemical reaction that occurs in the mitochondria of cells in which glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. Photosynthesis is one of the ...

Billions of years ago, long before plants arrived on the scene, cyanobacteria invented oxygenic photosynthesis. In the ...

Photosynthesis is the dominant source of ... Schlesinger, W. H. The global carbon dioxide flux in soil respiration and its relationship to vegetation and climate. Tellus B 44, 81-99 (1992).

Photosynthesis, mineralization ... POC is deposited in sediment, and carbon is released from sediment. Carbon flux is equal to the carbon concentration multiplied by the carbon released.

photosynthesis, and respiration, and has an important influence on atmospheric composition. Variability in the ocean carbon cycle could therefore exert significant feedback effects during conditions ...
