Chewing insects mechanically damage plants and lessen the surface area of leaves for photosynthesis. In addition, these insects make plants more vulnerable to pathogen attack. Suggest a reason why.
the rate of photosynthesis in plants decreases due to clogged stomata of the leaves
Photosynthetic rate of trees with less sunlight will be lower than areas with more sunlight? Accounting for both shade and sun leaves.
