Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the source of carbon that supports the growth of plants via the process of photosynthesis. This book explores the responses of plants, particularly food plants, to the ever-increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the air. It explains why the impact of elevated CO2 on food production will not be the panacea that some have predicted. Features of the book include: identifies three distinct adverse greenhouse effects which could make life on Earth extremely difficult - warming by CO2 itself, warming of vegetation by restriction of transpiration, and nutritional erosion; provides wide, up-to-date coverage of scientific literature in the field; proposes that, for ecologically sustainable development, there is an urgent need to slow the present rate of increase in levels of atmospheric CO2.
