How much oxygen do different plants emit and how much carbon dioxide do they consume?

Some plants will be better for the environment like maybe large leaf plants, tropical plants and evergreens. Are trees better for the environment than other plants such as ferns or grasses?

How much oxygen do different plants emit and how much carbon dioxide do they consume?
I don't know what each and every plants ratio is but don't forget they only consume CO2 in the daylight. In darkness they take in oxygen and give off CO2 just like we do. The biggest contributor to oxygen is now and always has been algae in the oceans.
Reply:It varies from species to species. The size and condition of the plant makes a difference as well. Overall you will be disappointed when you find out how much CO2 is being converted to O2 by an individual plant. I was.
