How Does Carbon Dioxide Affect Plants

Introduction
Carbon dioxide plays a huge rule on plant growth. This reports points out some positive affects as well as negative aspects of carbon dioxide concentration illustrated through a graph from the three trails. Some positive affect is that if a plant is receiving an average amount of CO2 and water and sunlight, it’ll have a positive affect depending on the type of the plant. The negative affect is if there is an imbalance of one element or if the plant if receiving too much or too little, for example if carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is too high then plants lose water due to the evaporation as the heat increases, also the excess CO2 in plants causes the plant to be less nutrient for human and animal consumption (Zhu 2005). However, the effect of carbon dioxide concentrations varies depending on the type of plant since each plant has different feedback affect and how the plant reacts to the increased level of CO2.

Hypothesis
If the amount of carbon dioxide concentration is high, then the plant height (growth rate) will increase because …show more content…
High level of carbon dioxide can be beneficial for plants only if it’s in an enclosed area. If plants are kept in with 3oo ppm (CO2) then it will develop healthy growth with the balance of all nutrients it needs such as sunlight, temperature, the amount of water and soil. Since different type of plants have a different effect, an experiment that tests different types of plant will be needed as to see how different plants have different effects on a variety of factors such as the age, moisture content, sunlight availability, functional type, time of the year and other factors that contribute to plant
