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: Increasing the oxygenase activity of rubisco more than the carboxylase activity.

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Warmer environments have the effect of: Lowering the solubility of CO2 to a greater extent than O2

#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.
