An elevated CO2 concentration in
the atmosphere accelerates growth and improves yields of agricultural crops.
Not exact matches
Therefore, there is concern that the emissions of carbon dioxide from streams and rivers may increase due to climate change,
accelerating the
growth of this greenhouse gas in the
atmosphere.
Photosynthetic processes are
accelerated with the increased availability of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere and, hence, it is conjectured that ring
growth would also be correlated with atmospheric carbon dioxide; see Graybill and Idso (1993).

Has two - decades worth of cumulative CO2
growth in the

The rate of
growth in carbon dioxide concentrations in the
atmosphere has
accelerated since the beginnings of the Keeling Curve.
In conclusion, the new Samanta et al. study lends further weight to the emerging picture of the impact of the 2005 drought: that tree
growth was relatively unaffected, but tree mortality increased, contributing temporarily to
accelerating the rate of climate change, rather than as usual reducing it, via additions of carbon to the
atmosphere from the dead trees.
