  1. Photosynthesis : A Virtual Lab: A simple simulator that allows users to change a range of variables such as the color of light, brightness of light, and carbon dioxide concentration, and to then calculate their impact on the photosynthetic efficiency of a plant. Simulator designed and developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT Media Lab. Note: Adobe Flash Player is required to run this simulation activity.

  2. The impact of global elevated C02 concentration on photosynthesis and plant productivity: A reading on the effects of global elevated CO2 levels on photosynthesis and productivity of plants. Article by Reddy, A. R., Rasineni, G. K., & Raghavendra, A. S. (2010). Current Science, 46-57.

  3. Potential Impacts on Food Security and Undernutrition: A reading on the possible impact of climate change on food security.
