In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Plant responses to the projected future levels of CO2 were first characterized in short-term
experiments lasting days to weeks. However, longer term acclimation responses to elevated …

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time
for action to mitigate the worst effects on human populations and ecosystems. Plant science …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working

▪ Abstract Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) is now higher than it was at any time in
the past 26 million years and is expected to nearly double during this century. Terrestrial …

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from close to 280 parts per million
(ppm) in 1800, at first slowly and then progressively faster to a value of 367 ppm in 1999 …

It is well known that plant photosynthesis and respiration are two fundamental and crucial
physiological processes, while the critical role of the antioxidant system in response to …

The global environment is changing with increasing temperature and atmospheric carbon
dioxide concentration,[CO2]. Because these two factors are concomitant, and the global …

Carbon emissions related to human activities have been significantly contributing to the
elevation of atmospheric [CO2] and temperature. More recently, carbon emissions have …

Although a few texts on forest hydrology are available, they cover very little, if any,
background on water resources. On the other hand, books dealing with water resources do …
