CO2 1500ppm & High Temp Science

Hello,

Can anyone out there describe on a scientific basis why at 1500 ppm of CO2 the ideal temperature range increases by approximately 10-12 degrees?

I'm reading anywhere between 82 and 87 degrees.

I'd really like to reserve this to be a scientific discussion and not I heard from some guy that.....

Thanks

Tom

Calling all science geeks.

I read that post. Great post. Problem is it doesn't address the science. Why are higher temps required to take advantage of the CO2?

Click to expand...

co2 enrichment was initially used to combat the heat from lighting....upon implementation it was discovered that it also increases growth rate/production...plants are very similar to cold blooded animals...the increased temp increases transpiration / metabolism and the higher level of co2 allows this to occur although the temps are high...it is assumed the the increased co2 levels allow the plant to obtain adequate levels to continue photosynthesize at the higher temps even though the stomatas are smaller in an attempt to slow transpiration due to the heat so that is the mechanic...ime 81F at the plant is the best all around temp

some science for you
