Photosynthesis: Nature's Answer to Climate Change?

Open access0 citations

Abstract

This article explains the connection between photosynthesis and climate change in simple scientific language. It covers how plants, algae and bacteria absorb carbon dioxide, why forests and oceans act as carbon sinks, how deforestation worsens global warming, and how heat, drought and floods reduce photosynthesis and crop yields, with a focus on Pakistan's agriculture. It concludes with practical solutions: protecting forests and oceans, reforestation campaigns, biotechnology for climate-resilient crops, and reducing fossil fuel emissions. Self-written based on my Biology (FSc) studies.
