Climate Change and Plants: Biodiversity, Growth and Interactions Evidence is raised daily of
the varying climate and its impression on both plants and animals. Climatic changes …

Atmospheric changes such as elevated CO2 are of global extent, exert prime influences in
the remaining wilderness areas, and are second in importance only to effects of land use on …

A large, cooperative, integrated experimental program utilizing free-air CO 2 enrichment
(FACE) is being conducted to expose plants to elevated concentrations of CO 2. The goals …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the effects of elevated atmospheric carbon
dioxide in plants. Elevated CO 2 enhances plant growth. Carbon dioxide is the substrate for …

The increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations from anthropogenic activities is
the major driver of recent global climate change. The stimulation of plant photosynthesis due …

The physiological response of vegetation to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentration ([CO 2]) modifies productivity and surface energy and water fluxes …

Elevated CO2 and temperature strongly affect crop production, but understanding of the crop
response to combined CO2 and temperature increases under field conditions is still limited …

Changes in the atmospheric concentration of CO₂, over periods of millennia, are positively
correlated with the temperature of the world. It is expected that this positive correlation will …

The capacity of the terrestrial biosphere to sequester carbon and mitigate climate change is
governed by the ability of vegetation to remove emissions of CO 2 through photosynthesis …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration should stimulate biomass production
directly via biochemical stimulation of carbon assimilation, and indirectly via water savings …
