This study is the first of its kind.Previously, no one had determined the temperature threshold for photosynthesis based on observational data on such a global scale. Temperature thresholds for photosynthesis have been studied only in the laboratory.
Scientists have also named the carbon-rich biomes to be hit first. Among them are tropical forests in the Amazon and Southeast Asia, taiga in Russia and Canada.
