Study Notes
- The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very low, and can only be increased up to 0.05%.
- At low light conditions, C3 plants do not respond to high CO2 levels, but at high light intensities, they show an increase in photosynthesis.
- The availability of CO2 levels is limiting to C3 plants, as they only respond to increased levels.
- This increase in photosynthesis is used to increase yields in greenhouse crops, such as tomatoes and bell pepper, which are grown in a CO2 enriched atmosphere.
