Photosynthesis rates typically peak in spring and summer when temperatures are warmer and sunlight is more abundant, leading to higher plant growth and carbon dioxide absorption. Conversely, in fall and winter, decreased light and cooler temperatures reduce photosynthetic activity, resulting in higher atmospheric carbon dioxide levels due to less carbon being sequestered by plants.
