Regulation of atmospheric CO{sub 2} and O{sub 2} by photosynthetic carbon metabolism
- eds.
The objectives of this book are threefold: (1) discussion of the role of photosynthesis in regulating atmopsheric concentrtions of carbon dioxide and oxygen; (2) promotion of research and discussion about how the various carbons and CAM carbon cycles and algal carbon dioxide concentrating mechanisms could be integrated to help explain the regulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide; (3) increase of exchanges among biochemists concerned primarily with detailed reactions of photsynthetic carbon dioxide metabolism, and geologists and other concerned about increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sections include those on background information on global carbon cycles and pools; the C3 cycle, photorespiration, and respiration, and the carbon dioxide concentration processes of C4 CAM and Algal pumps; discussion of plant metabolism might influence atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations.
