it will reduce crop yield due to heat stress and increased pest and disease pressure
2
Q
5 limiting factors of photosynthesis
A
light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, water availability, chlorophyll content
3
Q
what happens to photosynthesis in cooler climates and why
A
photosynthesis is temperature limited a rise in temp will result in photosynthesis as enzyme- catalysed reaction happens quicker
4
