However, a new University of Minnesota study with more than 1,000 young trees has found that plants also adjust — or acclimate — to a warmer climate and may release only one - fifth as much
additional carbon dioxide than scientists previously believed, The study, published today
in the journal Nature, is based on a five - year project, known as «B4Warmed,» that simulated the effects of climate change on 10 boreal and temperate tree species growing
in an open -
air setting
in 48 plots
in two forests
in northern Minnesota.

Leaf area index, which is also enhanced by increasing atmospheric
carbon dioxide, was the second most important factor, contributing an
additional 21.8 percent, followed by climate change (precipitation and
air temperature together) and the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation, which accounted for the remaining 18.3 and 14.6 percent increase
in NPP, respectively.
The policy - ramp advocates argue that the damage done by an
additional ton of
carbon in the atmosphere is fairly low at current concentrations; the cost will not get really large until there is a lot more
carbon dioxide in the
air, and that won't happen until late this century.
