Paper Summary

The study looked at how different planting densities affect the photosynthesis of tobacco plants. They found that plants with the right density of 15,100 per square hectare had the highest photosynthetic rate. The main factors influencing photosynthesis were stomatal conductance and light intensity. Higher or lower planting densities decreased photosynthesis.
