Photosynthesis is the most important metabolic process of forest ecosystems. In simple outline the process amounts to the reduction of carbon dioxide to CH2O and the oxidation of water to molecular oxygen and results in the derivation of approximately 95% of the dry weight of plants. Photosynthesis is the process primarily responsible for forest productivity.
