Since trees don’t harvest or hunt food, they have to produce their own. The way they make their food is a unique and important chemical process called photosynthesis. The cells in plants and all ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

Researchers at the Bayreuth Center for Ecology and Environmental Research (BayCEER) at the University of Bayreuth have found ...

Planting trees is a powerful and cost-effective strategy for addressing climate change, restoring ecosystems and promoting ...

While a single plant is capable of fixing inorganic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, the entire ecosystem surrounding the ...

Second, the warmer temperatures interfered with the enzymes essential for photosynthesis, reducing their ability to fix carbon. Even after eight months of warming, the trees showed little ability ...

Found predominantly in boreal forests, these trees withstand freezing temperatures and intense sunlight, maintaining their green needles year-round. Recent research, published in Trends in Plant ...
