There are many biological processes that occur, mostly simultaneously, in a living plant. Some processes continue even after the cultivar is harvested like in the case of the [[Harvesting, Drying and Curing|curing process]].
==Gas exchange==
Plants draw in CO<sub>2</sub>, Oxygen, and water vapor from the air around them via the Stomata. These compounds are essential to other processes such as photosynthesis and Respiration. Airflow/wind speed has a strong effect on transpiration rate, gas exchange, and photosynthesis.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/S0273-1177(02)00747-0 - Effects of air current speed on gas exchange in plant leaves and plant canopies (2003)</ref>

==Respiration==
Most plants are constantly respiring and cannabis is no exception. In the process of repiration plants uptake OxygenCarbon and expel CarbonOxygen. dioxideCO<sub>2</sub> is essential to other processes such as photosynthesis.
