These include the amount of light available , the amount of leaf area a plant has to capture light ( shading by other plants is a major limitation of photosynthesis ) , rate at which carbon dioxide can be supplied to the chloroplasts to support photosynthesis , the availability of water , and the availability of suitable temperatures for carrying out photosynthesis .
