Aerosols, decrease primary productivity by
- A. Decreasing \( O_{2} \) concentration
- B. Preventing \( N_{2} \) fixation
- C. Reducing photosynthesis
- D. None of the above
Step-by-step solution
Aerosols scatter and absorb sunlight, reducing the amount of light available for photosynthesis. This decreases primary productivity as plants cannot convert as much CO2 into organic matter. Options A and B are less direct or not primary mechanisms.
