Rethinking The Uplands: Trees Reach Record Heights in Scotland
We can infer that their growth is likely influenced by changes in environmental conditions, such as CO2 enrichment.
Elevated CO2 and the Enhancement of Plant Medicinal Properties
“overall, elevated CO2 provoked changes in the phytochemical contents of caraway plants, particularly at the sprouting stage and, hence, improved their nutritive and health-promoting properties.”
How CO2 Saves the Earth: Greenhouse Gas have Vital Warming & Cooling Effects
Jim Steele While CO2 warming effects have raised earth’s temperature to present levels, CO2’s absorbed wavelengths are saturated. More CO2 will have reduced warming effects going forward. On the other…
Slight, beneficial warming from more carbon dioxide!
In radiation physics that means adding more CO2 or water molecules will bring modest warming that will benefit plant growth, and thus all life on Earth. More CO2 and H2O…
