Photosynthetic Acclimation to Climate Change: COâ‚‚, Light, and Temperature Interplay
As the climate crisis intensifies, plants—the planet’s primary carbon assimilators—find themselves at the frontline of atmospheric change. Photosynthesis, the foundational process that converts solar energy and COâ‚‚ into carbohydrates, is highly sensitive to shifts in temperature, light intensity, and COâ‚‚ levels. While these environmental cues have always fluctuated, their unprecedented rate of change is now…
