Factors Affecting Photosynthesis
The process of photosynthesis can be affected by a number of factors. These include: 1. Light Intensity
The amount of light reaching the plant’s leaf has a significant impact on the rate by which it creates food. In general, the higher the light intensity, the higher the rate of photosynthesis by plants. On the flip side, when light intensity is low, the rate of photosynthesis will also decline. This is why only certain plants can grow in shady environments, while others demand full sun. Further Reading: 24 Herbs to Grow in the Shade
2. Concentration of Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a vital ingredient in the process of photosynthesis.
