At the same time, Dr. Grabherr said, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations could theoretically increase
plant productivity at high altitudes, leading plants to spread upslope.

This team award recognizes the contributions of four Monsanto researchers — Robert Fraley, co-President of the Agricultural Sector; Robert Horsch, co-President of the Sustainable Development Sector and General Manager of the Agracetus Research Campus; Ernest Jaworski, retired Director of the Biological Sciences Program; and Stephen Rogers, Director of Biotechnology Projects
at Monsanto's European Center for Crop Research in Brussels, Belgium — for their pioneering achievements in
plant biology and agricultural biotechnology, and for global leadership in the development and commercialization of genetically modified crops to enhance agricultural
productivity and sustainability.
«With increasing average temperatures across the globe being predicted to have negative impacts on agricultural

On the other hand, ecosystem
productivity had either regained or exceeded its normal level a year after a climate event, regardless of
plant diversity, showing that biodiversity has no effect on ecosystem resilience,
at least on annual timescales.
And just as increased algal
productivity at sea increases the emission of sulfur gases to the atmosphere, ultimately leading to more and brighter clouds over the world's oceans, so too do CO2 - induced increases in terrestrial
plant productivity lead to enhanced emissions of various sulfur gases over land, where they likewise ultimately cool the planet.
Springtime cold air outbreaks (
at least two consecutive days during which the daily average surface air temperature is below 95 % of the simulated average wintertime surface air temperature) are projected to continue to occur throughout this century.19 As a result, increased
productivity of some crops due to higher temperatures, longer growing seasons, and elevated CO2 concentrations could be offset by increased freeze damage.20 Heat waves during pollination of field crops such as corn and soybean also reduce yields (Figure 18.3).4 Wetter springs may reduce crop yields and profits, 21 especially if growers are forced to switch to late -
planted, shorter - season varieties.
If all the
plants in the world were only
plants in greenhouses, your claim would absolutely be the end of the matter, and I could not disagree with it, as toxicity would be all that we might need consider, and the benefits to
productivity at little cost to viability in such sheltered and controlled conditions would be an exciting opportunity for us.
``... the chief factor limiting
plant productivity — photosynthetic efficiency — is the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is currently
at a relatively low level compared with previous eras in the earth's long history.»
However, dry - spell duration and warming trend effects on vegetation
productivity may be
at least partly offset by rising atmospheric CO2 effects on
plants (Bachelet et al., 2001; Thuiller et al., 2006b), leading to sometimes contrasting projections for deserts that are based on different modelling techniques that either incorporate or ignore CO2 - fertilisation effects.
BCDR depends on increasing and / or utilizing
plant productivity, and most strategies require land of
at least moderate fertility (except degraded land restoration).

productivity (outside of the southeastern US) and biomass, as well as increased
plant water - use efficiency.They also find that vegetation feedbacks may increase warming in summer
at higher latitudes and reduce summer warming
at lower latitudes.

plant the seed of a new
productivity platform inside of a dizzyingly expanding set of customer companies small and large, it's attacking incumbents twice: If it can supplant other large - scale tools
at big firms, Slack undercuts enterprise - facing revenues currently collected, and if smaller companies pick Slack and its nascent platform over traditional
productivity stacks, it could further undermine future income streams from these large companies.
