Excellent- More about Photosynthesis, Respiration, and Climate Change
Changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and global climate conditions have altered photosynthesis and plant respiration across both geologic and contemporary time scales. This volume integrates physiological, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives on photosynthesis and respiration responses to climate change, exploring modeling plant responses to climate, evolutionary studies, and novel approaches to engineering photosynthesis and photorespiration to improve plant productivity.

Changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and global climate conditions have had a profound impact on photosynthesis and plant respiration across both geologic and contemporary time scales. Understanding the effects of climate change on plant carbon dynamics is crucial for predicting how plants will respond to future growing conditions. Furthermore, the demand for biofuel, fiber, and food production is rapidly increasing due to the expanding global human population, and climate change is exacerbating this demand.
This volume brings together physiological, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives on photosynthesis and respiration responses to climate change. We explore this topic within the context of modeling plant responses to climate, including physiological mechanisms that limit carbon assimilation and the potential for plants to adapt to rising carbon dioxide concentrations, warming temperatures, and drought. Additional chapters compare climate change responses in natural and agricultural ecosystems, where differences in climate sensitivity between different photosynthetic pathways can influence community and ecosystem processes.
Evolutionary studies over past and current time scales provide valuable insights into evolutionary changes in photosynthetic traits, the emergence of novel plant strategies, and the potential for rapid evolutionary responses to future climate conditions. Finally, we discuss innovative approaches to engineering photosynthesis and photorespiration to enhance plant productivity for the future.
The overarching goals of this volume are to highlight recent advancements in photosynthesis and respiration research and to identify key challenges to understanding and scaling plant physiological responses to climate change. The integrated perspectives and broad scope of this volume will contribute to a better understanding of the complex interactions between plants, climate, and the environment, and will inform efforts to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change on agriculture and ecosystems.
