Hi, under high light and high heat, the enzyme (RUBISCO) that grabs carbon dioxide for photosynthesis may grab oxygen instead, causing repiration to occur instead of photosynthesis, thus causing a slowing of the production of sugars from photosynthesis.

So, to prevent this, you'd have to control the light and the climate of the planet somehow, make sense?
