Reviews of numerous individual woody plant experiments reveal a mean growth enhancement on the order of 50% for an approximate doubling of the air’s CO2 content (i.e., a 300 ppm rise). This photo illustrates this phenomenon for pine trees grown in normal air and air enriched with an extra 150, 300 and 450 ppm of… Continue Reading
Today’s low CO2 concentration is starving trees and plants of the food they need to achieve their full growth potential via photosynthesis. Additional benefits of increased CO2: Increased photosynthesis (“CO2 fertilization”). Plants grow faster, and with less stress and less water. Forests are growing faster. Stimulates growth of beneficial bacteria in both soil and water.… Continue Reading
