On the biological source of carbon monoxide
I have heard that between heaven and earth, there are many kinds of gas. Although carbon monoxide is not a large number of gas, it also has an important position in the ecological system. Let's talk about its biological source.

Biological sources produce carbon monoxide through multiple channels. Vegetation is an important source of it. Plants can produce carbon monoxide in their daily metabolism and growth process. Such as leaf respiration, when the balance of photosynthesis and respiration changes, or when the environment is reversed, such as drought, flood, cold, heat, etc., the biochemical reactions in plants can release carbon monoxide. And when plants are invaded by pests and diseases, they will also initiate special metabolism, which may involve the generation of carbon monoxide.

Furthermore, the activity of microorganisms is also the cause of carbon monoxide. In the soil, the flora is lush, and anaerobic bacteria undergo specific fermentation and metabolism in the anaerobic or micro-oxygen environment, during which carbon monoxide can be produced. In anaerobic environments such as wetlands and rice fields, such microorganisms are frequently active, so they are important biological sources of carbon monoxide.

Marine organisms also contribute. Plankton are huge in marine ecology, and their metabolic activities are complex. Under certain conditions, some plankton can release carbon monoxide in seawater, and then exchange it with sea air and enter the atmosphere.

From the perspective, biological sources play a significant role in the generation of carbon monoxide. It is of profound significance to explore the mechanism of atmospheric chemistry and analyze the changes of ecological environment in detail. Our generation should study this way in depth to promote the progress of environmental science and help the protection of ecology.
