High volumes of oxyzen yieldiing plants/trees?

Question

I want to know which tree yiedls more oxyzen than any other tree. Why because? What is the basic cause or feature for high yielding of oxyzen from the trees? Trees with llarger size leaves high voluemes of oxyzen into the environment. True or false.

Answer 1

This Question is more complicated than it originally seems. There is no direct experiments being done to determine this that I know about.

Larger leaves does not mean more chloroplasts. Also the leaves must be in the direct sun to produce the maximum amount of oxygen possible. Evergreens produce almost all year long while deciduous trees have a dormant period.

Generally speaking, small plants, such a algae are more efficient at photosynthesis. Larger trees tend to grow very slowly and produce little more oxygen than they consume.

The ideal oxygen producer would be fast growing with no dormant period. It would tend to have a shape which allows the maximum surface area containing chloroplasts to be in direct sunlight. Monocots (Monocotyledonae) like grass and bamboo may be the best plants for oxygen production.

Answer 2

The number of chloroplasts in a given surface area of leaf differ from plant to plant .BUT if we consider the annual yield of oxygen production , the ever green plants produce more oxygen than deciduous plants which will have green leaves for only few months in a year(spring and summer)
