True, cloud cover and air pollution can reduce plant production.
Cloud cover reduces the amount of sunlight that reaches plants, thereby reducing the energy available for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy. This can negatively impact plant growth and production.
Air pollution, such as high levels of ozone or particulate matter, can also hinder plant growth. These pollutants can damage plant tissues, disrupt photosynthesis, and impair the uptake of necessary nutrients. Additionally, air pollution can contribute to acid rain, which further damages plants and soils.
Therefore, both cloud cover and air pollution can have detrimental effects on plant production.
