| 1 | There is , for example , the potential to manipulate crop yield by influencing the genes which control photosynthesis and respiration , the main plant metabolic processes which involve carbon fixation and its release . |
| 2 | Here we present data indicating that this increase in CO 2 has enhanced biospheric carbon fixation and altered species abundances by increasing the water-use efficiency of biomass production of C 3 plants , the bulk of the Earth 's vegetation . |
| 3 | Many believe , however , that higher [ CO 2 ] has a negligible effect on global carbon fixation because factors other than CO 2 limit productivity of most unmanaged vegetation . |
| 4 | Increased widths of annular rings of some trees , global CO 2 models , calculations of carbon accumulation in temperate forests , and the increased amplitude of the annual cycle of atmospheric [ CO 2 ] in recent decades , all suggest that rising [ CO 2 ] has stimulated biospheric carbon fixation . |
| 5 | In doing so he is confusing carbon fixation with the fate of phytoplankton . |
| 6 | Obviously chlorophyll is a pool and primary production is a flux , but primary production ( carbon fixation ) can be quantitatively related to chlorophyll through light , nutrients and temperature , independent of the fate of the production . |
