Sentences with phrase «increases vegetation growth»

CO2 increases Vegetation growth dramatically.

In addition, strong biosphere - radiation feedbacks are often present in several moderately wet regions, for instance in the Eastern U.S. and in the Mediterranean, where precipitation and radiation increase vegetation growth.

Warmer, drier climate phases can particularly increase fire risk when they follow cooler, wetter conditions that increase fire fuel availability via increased vegetation growth and reduced fire activity (Heyerdahl et al. 2008).

Not exact matches

Water entitlements are used by environmental water managers to improve water quality, increase native fish and bird populations and promote the growth of native vegetation, among other benefits.

The researchers believe the greening is a response to higher atmospheric carbon dioxide inducing decreases in plant stomatal conductance — the measure of the rate of passage of carbon dioxide entering, or water vapor exiting, through the stomata of a leaf — and increases in soil water, thus enhancing vegetation growth.

Vegetation growth enhances heat transfer and increases the height of Earth's boundary layer, the lowest part of the atmosphere that is highly responsive to surface radiation.

Because CO2 can aid the growth of plants — and close down stomata as well to protect against O3 invasion — it was unclear how vegetation worldwide would respond to such an increase in emissions of both CO2 and O3.

For example, scientists have shown a connection between the rapid warming of the Arctic region to the increase in terrestrial gross primary productivity (vegetation growth) in high latitudes.

She has already found a large increase in soil carbon two years after a single application of compost, probably due to enhanced vegetation growth.

Collectively, these data show general increasing trends in both plant growth and evaporation with recent climate change mainly driven by vegetation greening and rising atmosphere moisture deficits.

Positive: Increased vegetation water use and increased growth and productivity as a result of longer growiIncreased vegetation water use and increased growth and productivity as a result of longer growiincreased growth and productivity as a result of longer growing season

If it takes 100 plus years to double the concentration of CO2, and if the equilibrium response is a 2C increase (Pierrehumbert, «Principles of Planetary Climate», p 623), and if the increased CO2 produces increased vegetation and crop growth, then the present rate of development of non-fossil fuel power and fuel generation is more appropriate than an Apollo type project or attempt to get rid of all fossil fuel use by 2050 starting now as fast as can be done.

So if, hypothetically, human activities had instead cut CO2 emissions and increased CO2 SOC / Vegetation by a combined amount of 2.2 GtC / year evenly across every month of 2017 then the Annual Mean Growth Rate for 2017 would have been about -0.27 PPM / Yr.

and the benefits of increased CO2 over at least the next few decades... if the increased CO2 produces increased vegetation and crop growth....

# 18: «I see a lot of good coming from increased vegetative growth, and more arable land for vegetation to grow in.»

This is due to vegetation growth in the Northern Hemisphere sucking down carbon faster than the average 2.06 increase in C in the atmosphere.

Other than possibly slightly higher sea levels, I see a lot of good coming from increased vegetative growth, and more arable land for vegetation to grow in.

Something similar for vegetation: increased temperatures will increase plant growth (but at the same time plant decay), which will give a short time extra growth, besides a long time shift in total growth area.

The sink swallowed up roughly 0.77 gigaton of carbon per year, persisting despite a significant increase in biomass burning emissions that occurred during the dry season of 2011, fueled by the rapid growth of vegetation that year.

The effect of temperature on vegetation: A short term temperature increase, all other necessities (minerals, water, fertiliser, sunlight,...) available in sufficient quantities, may increase the uptake by plants, but that is a non-linear effect: some plants are below optimum temperature / growth, others are already over that optimum.

Higher runoff is expected to mobilise fertilisers and pesticides to water bodies in regions where their application time and low vegetation growth coincide with an increase in runoff (Soil and Water Conservation Society, 2003).

Positive effects of climate change may include greener rainforests and enhanced plant growth in the Amazon, increased vegetation in northern latitudes and possible increases in plankton biomass in some parts of the ocean.

During a period of rapid population growth, a lower heat capacity due to drying out of the soil and lost vegetation, and an increase in heat retaining surfaces, then homogenization more often amplifies those warming effects that is not indicative of climate change.

The latest article on greening I've seen is from a couple of months ago: «Human population growth offsets climate - driven increase in woody vegetation in sub-Saharan Africa» https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-017-0081 Thanks to climate change and CO2 increase the balance is positive towards greening over human deforestation.

What is known in terms consequences of rising global CO2 levels is a significant increase crop yield and natural vegetation growth from elevated levels of CO2.

The remaining slow drift to lower GMT and pCO2 over glacial time, punctuated by higher - frequency variability and the dust − climate feedbacks, may reflect the consequences of the growth of continental ice sheets via albedo increases (also from vegetation changes) and increased CO2 dissolution in the ocean from cooling.

What is known is the ever increasing global CO2 level will cause further increases in crop yields and more increase in growth of natural vegetation.

You need to burn a lot of vegetation to give a descernable increase in the (ice or other) records, the more that fresh growth within the following years rapidely uses a lot of CO2.

Research to date supports the idea that increased CO2 promotes increased crop growth and increased Net Primary Productivity of the natural vegetation.
