Via Mac OS Summarize:
It's a conditional phenomena.The available carbon must be taken in the context of available: daylight,precipitation,nitrogen,phosphorous,overst ory,understory,soil microbes,drainage,elevation,pollinators,soil temperature,air temperature,wind,first thaw,refreezing,etc..
Some plants experience temporary growth,peak out,then experience no additional growth.Beyond 104-F,all photosynthesis is arrested,leaf stomata close off,and there's no longer any growth.Then wilt.Then heat death.Guatemala has been experiencing this for a couple of decades now.
Any good news is welcome,but the overall trajectory is grim.As in 'Reaper.'
