Ocean warming is likely to decrease the absorption of carbon dioxide by sea water. Conversely, positive changes in the primary biomass production of the ocean could increase the oceanic carbon dioxide uptake and ameliorate the greenhouse effect. 1, record 1, English, - carbon%20dioxide%20uptake

On connaît assez bien le contenu global actuel de carbone de l'atmosphère, sept cent vingt milliards de tonnes, où il se trouve essentiellement sous forme de CO2.

... in many plants water availability is one of the most important factors limiting photosynthesis under natural conditions. Because water is lost from leaves through the same pores (known as stomata) that carbon dioxide enters, the plant must balance carbon dioxide uptake against water loss. Under conditions of limited water availability, the stomata restrict water loss, which exerts a strong control on the net rate of photosynthesis by limiting the availability of carbon dioxide within the leaf. 1, record 2, English, - carbon%20dioxide%20uptake

Ce phénomène est un des éléments essentiels de la photosynthèse. Comme pour tous les transferts de fluides, cette absorption est contrôlée par une différence de potentiel qui est ici équivalente à la différence de concentration en gaz carbonique de l'air et celle en équilibre à l'intérieur de la plante au niveau où ce gaz est transformé par voie biochimique. Cette absorption dépend aussi des résistances au transfert gazeux. On en distingue habituellement quatre : la résistance dans la couche limite d'air au voisinage de la feuille, la résistance stomatique, la résistance au transfert dans les tissus de la feuille ou mésophylle et la résistance à la carboxylation de nature chimique. Par l'intermédiaire de la résistance stomatique qui est éminemment variable, l'absorption en gaz carbonique est reliée à la transpiration. Cette relation peut s'exprimer par l'efficience de l'eau. 1, record 2, French, - absorption%20de%20gaz%20carbonique
