CO2 Concentration as a Limiting Factor
Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis; if there isn't enough, the process slows down.
How can a farmer increase the CO2 level in a greenhouse?
What is CO2 Concentration as a Limiting Factor?
"Carbon dioxide concentration refers to the amount of CO2 available for the photosynthesis reaction."

Carbon Dioxide Levels
Increasing CO2 increases the rate of photosynthesis until another factor limits it.
CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is roughly 0.04%.
In a greenhouse, burning paraffin lamps can increase CO2 levels.
CO2 is often the limiting factor on a sunny, warm day.
