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 …

Climatic change may bring about increased aridity to large areas of Europe. Higher
temperatures, larger water deficits and high light stress are likely to occur in conjunction with …

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 …

The Earth's average temperatures have been rising since the start of the Industrial
Revolution, in major part driven by rising concentrations of carbon dioxide. Correlated with …

The biomass water use efficiency of specific crops is usually almost constant at any given
ambient CO 2 concentration when normalised for the evaporative demand of the …

Agricultural ecosystems (agroecosystems) represent the balance between the physiological
responses of plants and plant canopies and the energy exchanges. Rising temperature and …

▪ 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 …

Yield of water‐limited crops is determined by crop water use and by plant water use
efficiency, each of which will be affected by the anticipated rise in atmospheric carbon …

Climate change has many potential effects on plants, some detrimental to growth, others
beneficial. Increasing CO2 concentration can increase photosynthetic rates, with the …
