Carbon Dioxide, Photosynthesis, Growth, and Productivity

Narcin Palavan-Unsal, Valentin Kefeli and Winfried Blum

Abstract

Solar energy as a renewable form is a key source of photosynthesis and plant biomass accumulation. The composition of plant biomass is based on the formation of primary and secondary products of photosynthesis. Some of them are carbon containing polymers like starch, cellulose and lignin. These components of plant organism could convert to soil organic matter (humus and its components).
