Kenaf has a considerably fast growing speed (usually growing at a speed of three to 9 times that of the average plant), and has a preeminent carbon fixation effect (1. This process begins with carbon fixation and is initiated when carbon dioxide in the air diffuses into the leaves of plants and into spaces between photosynthetic cells. The duration and magnitude of phytoplankton primary productivity impacts carbon fixation, carbon export, and air-sea carbon flux, so this work results in more accurate estimates of the oceanic net carbon biological uptake. |
