The relationship between photosynthesis and crop yield is established through research investigating how photosynthetic efficiency directly impacts agricultural productivity [1]. Furthermore, environmental stressors like global warming are linked to reduced crop yields via impaired photosynthesis [2], while higher carbon dioxide levels are recognized for their potential to enhance both processes [3].

claimBecca Neumann acknowledges that the effect of higher carbon dioxide concentrations enhancing photosynthesis and boosting crop yields is real and well-documented, but notes that this effect is already factored into the climate and agricultural models that the Department of Energy (DOE) report seeks to discredit.

claimGlobal warming and associated extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, are expected to cause long-term declines in crop yields due to reduced photosynthesis efficiency, faster evaporation, and increased water absorption by plants.
