While organic agriculture practices result in higher soil organic matter (SOM) contents and, in turn, higher nutrient - and water - supplying potential to crops, transition to organic farming typically involves a lag time of several years in which yields can suffer and input demands increase as rebuilding soil microbial communities compete with crops for nitrogen and other available nutrients (Simmons and Coleman, 2008).
The increased levels of carbonic acid in the water means there are less carbonate ions available in seawater for making shells, meaning that thousands of species that build shells or skeletons from calcium carbonate are in danger of extinction.

Snowfall varies across the region, comprising less than 10 % of total precipitation in the south, to more than half in the north, with as much as two inches of water available in the snowpack at the beginning of spring melt in the northern reaches of the river basins.81 When this amount of snowmelt is combined with heavy rainfall, the resulting flooding can be widespread and catastrophic (see «Cedar Rapids: A Tale of Vulnerability and Response»).82 Historical observations indicate declines in the frequency of high magnitude snowfall years over much of the Midwest, 83 but an increase in lake effect snowfall.61 These divergent trends and their inverse relationships with air temperatures make overall projections of regional impacts of the associated snowmelt extremely difficult.

Such an increase means an increase in available surface water and higher, but more moderate surface temperatures.
So on condensation, under the still rising hotter lighter air carrying on doing its thing and perhaps adding new layers, there would be the accompanying volume and temperature decrease of that first previously rising lighter volume now heavier liquid water and added to by the adjacent volumes of heavier colder air flowing beneath the still rising lighter hotter and into the space now available on condensation of its neighbour, which all now being heavier will increase the pressure at the surface as they all sink together displacing the lighter.
