Sentences with phrase «plant growth»

While CO2 stimulates reproduction and growth in plants, ozone has a negative impact on plant growth, the authors point out.

Silver nanoparticles, used for their potent antimicrobial properties in hospitals and consumer products, may negatively impact plant growth as they make their way into the environment, according to a new study.

These experiments all measured how extra CO2 in the atmosphere affects plant growth, microbial production of carbon dioxide, and the total amount of soil carbon at the end of the experiment.

«More CO2 promotes more plant growth both on land and throughout the surface waters of the world's oceans,» the authors explain.

A new study suggests the benefits of a boost to marine plant growth from increased carbon dioxide will be cancelled out by the increased stress to fish species.

The main problem is high CO2 promoting plant growth.

The keys work by interacting with a «lock», in other words, a receptor protein that binds with plant growth substances.

In this way, it prevents the development of diseases and stimulates plant growth in a single application.

By boosting plant growth, compost helps to increase soil carbon storage.

Figure 2: Data show that CO2 removed from the atmosphere by plant growth does not compensate for fossil fuel emissions.

Such a trend would actually feed back into global warming: ideally, more vigorous plant growth would absorb more carbon dioxide.

This means there are very few minerals to support plant growth.

Being able to control the cell division in plant cells may be effective in controlling plant growth.

Increasing CO2 in the climate also changes temperatures, precipitation, drought and flood frequencies, and a number of other factors which impact plant growth.

This would enable lighting to be used much more efficiently, resulting in better plant growth and a higher quality product.

Higher amounts of available carbon dioxide result in greater plant growth, apparently both on land and in the oceans.

From regulating plant growth to regulating populations of other species, mammals are a must.

In fact, the best current studies show that increases in atmospheric CO2 levels have no significant effects on global temperatures and encourage plant growth.

Although higher temperatures can initially spur plant growth, the boost looks short - lived.

Here we use climate projections under alternative mitigation scenarios to show how changes in environmental variables that limit plant growth could impact ecosystems and people.

For every ton of new plant growth, only a small fraction would be released as CO2 through decay, burning, soil or insect metabolism.

Young children will observe and explore plant growth while learning how to grow their own food.

This would allow optimum plant growth without producing excess nitrogen in run - off from fields, which is a major source of water pollution.

So intuitively one would guess that a larger proportion of the «missing CO2» should be going into added plant growth rather than increased ocean pH.

Simply put, fewer large animals may mean less plant growth.

More CO2 in the atmosphere makes rice plants grow faster, and the extra plant growth supplies soil microorganisms with extra energy, pumping up their metabolism.

New research shows that future plant growth may be restricted by nutrient availability, turning the land carbon sink into a source.

According to the study, the climate would be warming up significantly faster if plant growth was not accelerating as a result of climate change and the rising carbon dioxide concentration in the air.

Students use the gardens to learn math through measuring plant growth, soil conservation, ecosystems, probability, seasons, writing, and more.

Increased levels of CO2 accelerate plant growth, which causes more absorption of CO2 through photosynthesis.

When organic matter breaks down in the soil, it releases carbon that fuels plant growth, allows the soil to store more water, and helps hold soil particles together.

But higher plant growth will only lock away CO2 if there is an accumulation of organic matter.

Plant growth traits, soil chemical properties and microbial populations were measured and analyzed.

The researchers also looked into false spring incidents, where temperatures drop after spring plant growth has started.

What's more, even if plant growth does rise overall, the direct and indirect effects of higher CO2 levels will be disastrous for biodiversity.

The improved ability to manage plant growth and adjust nutrients results in producing better quality crops with reduced energy for a longer harvest period.

The researchers hope that learning more about how this process works will help them to devise new strategies for advancing plant growth.
