I found an article about how much a plant can produce oxygen. Oxygen is produced by sunlight, carbon dioxide, water. Plants use around 1 percent of the sunlight hitting the leaves and efficient plants use 3 percent of the sunlight. There is a difference in how much oxygen is created from a plant. It is tested by the plant's photosynthesis rate which can be determined by measuring its oxygen production or carbon dioxide consumption. C3 plants are a type of plant that lives in cooler climates and produces oxygen at 45.9 G/M2. C4 plants have the maxium oxygen production of 57.6 G/M2 and is found in the tropics.
The article I believe was alright. It had the details and foundation necessary to explain how much oxygen can be produced. It also gave me some interesting facts. If I were to put it in numbers, it would be a six out of ten.
These studies could help place plants based on how much oxygen made or its look at how much oxygen created could be useful for going to another planet and colonizing.
