2. Concentration of Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a vital ingredient in the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, if the concentration of CO2 is high, the rate of photosynthesis also increases proportionally. Under normal air-quality circumstances, the concentration of carbon dioxide ranges from 300 to 400 ppm. If the concentration exceeds the range, photosynthesis increases significantly. The reverse is also true in a CO2-depleted environment. 3.
