Out of this world: U of I researchers measure photosynthesis from space
(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment) In school, we learned that plants use sunlight to synthesize CO2 and water into products like carbohydrates. Now, a U of I research team is finding another use for photosynthesis. By using satellite data to measure plants' CO2 intake and fixation, scientists can generate insights into ecosystem health; specifically, how our agricultural systems will react to an erratic climate and increasingly carbon-filled atmosphere.
