photosynthesis disruption

Photosynthesis disruption occurs when plants can’t properly convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into energy. This can happen due to environmental stressors like pollution, excessive heat, or lack of nutrients, which damage the photosynthetic process inside plant cells. When photosynthesis is impaired, plants can’t produce enough food and oxygen, leading to weakened growth, poorer health, and reduced ability to support other life forms. Essentially, the disruption hampers the plant’s ability to generate the energy it needs to thrive, affecting ecosystems and the overall balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the environment.
