Default How much oxygen do plants give off?

Hello folks,

Can someone direct me to a newsgroup that discusses the relationship
between plants and animals? Specifically, I want to know the
contribution of oxygen from plants and how much of it is consumed by
animals, which plants give off the most oxygen, which animals breathe
out the most CO2, etc. I want to do some brainstorming for biospheric
research :-)


ISTR the single celled or simple algae manage impressive growth rates
in suitably optimised environmental tanks supplied with the right
nutrients.

Is there a sci.biology, sci.botany or similar group on usenet? I've
tried searching these, but couldn't find any such active groups.

Thanks for any pointers,


Try bionet.* and/or sci.bio.*

bionet.photosynthesis looks like a fair place to ask in (and various
links from there)

Regards,
Martin Brown
