Plant quality declines as CO2 levels rise

There is concern that crop plants are becoming less nutritious as the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase.

Field Tested: Grasslands Won’t Help Buffer Climate Change as CO2 Levels Rise

October 2005 | Volume 3 | Issue 10 | e347 | e353 Viewed under a microscope, the coronavirus appears almost beautiful, thanks to the halo-like crown formed by its surface proteins. (“Corona” means “crown” in Latin.) Aesthetics aside, this genus of viruses is responsible for a wide range of animal and human diseases, from the common cold to the deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome, familiarly...

Tidal marsh plant responses to elevated CO2 , nitrogen fertilization, and sea level rise.

Elevated CO2 and nitrogen (N) addition directly affect plant productivity and the mechanisms that allow tidal marshes to maintain a constant elevation relative to sea level, but it remains unknown how these global change drivers modify marsh plant response to sea level rise. Here we manipulated factorial combinations of CO2 concentration (two levels), N availability (two levels) and relative se...
