Question

how did the periodic jack pine wild fires impact the inputs and outputs of the carbon cycle to this model

Answer 1

Answer:

Fires impair the photosynthesis capacity of plants for a period of time. Plant respiration is also impaired. These two factors impact the carbon inputs and outputs in the environment.

Explanation:

As you may already know, to initiate photosynthesis it is necessary for carbon to enter the plant. This carbon is represented by the CO2 that is absorbed by the plants through the leaves and "mixed" with water and solar energy to produce the products of photosynthesis. In plant respiration the opposite occurs. Plants absorb O2 and release CO2 into the environment. This carbon exit is also carried out through the leaves.

When a fire occurs in a forest, the leaves of the plants are damaged in order to interfere with the processes of breathing and photosynthesis. As a result, the carbon cycle is impacted, because there is a loss of carbon inputs and outputs.
