Warmer environments significantly limit the efficiency of photosynthetic carbon assimilation because the progressive increase in temperature tilts the balance away from photosynthesis (carboxylation) and toward photorespiration (oxygenation)

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Warmer environments have the effect of: Reducing the stomatal aperture to conserve water. The stomatal closure lowers the uptake of atmospheric CO2, thereby decreasing CO2 at the active site of rubisco.
