Sentences with phrase «plant populations likely»
«These results warn against drawing over-optimistic conclusions from the relatively modest loss of mountain plant populations likely to be observed during the coming decades», says Stefan Dullinger from the University of Vienna, «because the final consequences of climate warming on plant distribution in the Alps will only become realized with a delay of decades or even centuries.»

As a result, it is imperative that we understand how plant populations are responding to climate constraints now, and use that information to predict how they are likely to respond to climatic changes in the future.»
In fields containing refuges of non-modified plants, resistance genes were less likely to be spread through the moth population.
According to one recent study, «These changes in stress tolerance are likely the by - product of plant breeders selecting for yield at high plant populations and over a wide range of growing environments.»
It is entirely possible that the fact that these populations eat a plant based diet is irrelevant to the lack of heart disease it could easily be another factor or more likely multiple different factors working together that explain the lack of heart disease.That said I happen to agree with you, but that's a really bad argument.
This likely explains why populations living on traditional diets revolving around whole plant foods have largely remained free from the epidemic of heart disease.
Boyle's reportage revealed that the intake pipes for the Storm King plant were to rest on top of the spawning ground of the Hudson River striped bass with the likely impact of decimating the fish population.
The Lambert - Quiggin school of econometrics would agree there's a likely high R - squared and t statistic, and that these «prove» that CO2 «causes» population growth and AGW, as well it may, as the same source (236, see below) shows that C3 plants (95 % of all plant matter) do best at elevated CO2 levels, eg soya, 61 % higher mass when CO2 rises from 160 to 330 ppm, with mass peaking at CO2 600 ppm (today only 380).
Increased weed and pest pressure associated with longer growing seasons and warmer winters will be an increasingly important challenge; there are already examples of earlier arrival and increased populations of some insect pests such as corn earworm.64 Furthermore, many of the most aggressive weeds, such as kudzu, benefit more than crop plants from higher atmospheric carbon dioxide, and become more resistant to herbicide control.72 Many weeds respond better than most cash crops to increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, particularly «invasive» weeds with the so - called C3 photosynthetic pathway, and with rapid and expansive growth patterns, including large allocations of below - ground biomass, such as roots.73 Research also suggests that glyphosate (for example, Roundup), the most widely - used herbicide in the United States, loses its efficacy on weeds grown at the increased carbon dioxide levels likely to occur in the coming decades.74 To date, all weed / crop competition studies where the photosynthetic pathway is the same for both species favor weed growth over crop growth as carbon dioxide is increased.72
Smaller scale, likely natural gas power plants with small regional and population scales are likely to be successful under local control vs far away sticky fingered controlling interest hands located in a remote capital.
Atmospheric CO2 is likely to increase to around 640 ppmv *, assuming — There will be no global Kyoto type climate initiatives — Human CO2 emissions increase with human population — Global per capita human fossil fuel use increases by 30 % by 2100 (it increased by 20 % from 1970 to today)-- Population growth is estimated to slow down sharply, with population reaching 10.5 billion by 2100 (* Note that this could be lower by around 60 ppmv if there is a concerted switch to nuclear power instead of coal for new power plants)
