Description

In a world of increasing atmospheric CO2, there is intensified interest in the ecophysiology of photosynthesis and more attention is being given to other aspects of carbon exchange and storage in natural ecosystems. For example, how much will the photosynthesis of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation change as global CO2 increases? Are there major ecosystems, such as the boreal forests, which may become important sinks of CO2 and slow down the effects of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on climate? This volume reviews the progress which has been made in understanding photosynthesis in the past few decades at several levels of integration, from the molecular level to canopy, ecosystem and global scales.
