    I mean if they are still photsynthesizing aren’t they still pulling out carbon? Is it that they are only doing as much as they need so its balanced by respiration?

      I read the article, not the paper, and even then, I didn’t read it that thoroughly. I mostly wanted to understand how over-sensationalized the headline was.

      So I’d have to go back and reread it to see if it answers that question. My memory is that the article simply said that the effect on carbon capture was noticeable at certain times of the year during the summer.
