Plants can help with climate(气候) change by taking in carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). But if it gets too hot, they might do the opposite(反面), a new study said.
Plants are very important. They take in air through tiny(极小的) holes in their leaves. With sunlight, they turn this air into food and give out oxygen(氧气). People thought plants lost most of their water through these tiny holes. When it is hot, the holes close so plants don't lose too much water.
But a new study found that when it is hot, plants lose more water through a layer(层) on their leaves. This layer cannot close. So, in very hot weather, plants keep losing water but can't take in air to make food. This makes it hard for them to clean the air.
If it gets too hot, plants might even release carbon dioxide back into the air. This could make climate change worse. Scientists said this could happen when it is about 30℃.
