As global population increases and industrialization expands, carbon dioxide (CO2) and
toxic air pollutants can be expected to be injected into the atmosphere at increasing rates …

▪ Abstract The primary effect of the response of plants to rising atmospheric CO2 (Ca) is to
increase resource use efficiency. Elevated Ca reduces stomatal conductance and …

Empirical records provide incontestable evidence for the global rise in carbon dioxide (CO
2) concentration in the earth's atmosphere. Plant growth can be stimulated by elevation of …

The increasing concentrations of CO2 and other “greenhouse gases” are expected to
change temperature, rainfall, and cloudiness. Since the late 17th century we have been …

Climate change affects plants in many different ways. Increasing CO 2 concentration can
increase photosynthetic rates. This is especially pronounced for C 3 plants, at high …

Empirical records provide incontestable evidence of global changes: foremost among these
changes is the rising concentration of CO 2 in the earth's atmosphere. Plant growth is nearly …

Currently, there is unprecedented scientific and societal emphasis on assessing future
anthropogenic changes in global temperature and the subsequent impacts on managed and …

Increased ambient carbon dioxide (CO 2) has been found to ameliorate water stress in the
majority of species studied. The results of many studies indicate that lower evaporative flux …

Human activity is altering the chemistry of the atmosphere, which, in turn is affecting the
physiology and growth of plants. The purpose of this article is to develop four ideas that are …

Reductions in leaf stomatal conductance with rising atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentration ([CO 2]) could reduce water use by vegetation and potentially alter climate …
