Summary

In Chapter 4, interactive biogeochemical and biophysical factors that affect tree function in relation to atmospheric cooling and warming were considered. Biogeochemical factors include photosynthesis and biogenic hydrocarbons. Biophysical factors include albedo, evapotranspiration, and ozone. How growth, photosynthesis, transpiration, and ozone affect trees due to increasing changes in atmospheric temperature and composition will be considered here.
