About this Item

Paperback. The rise in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere since the start of industrialization, and the global warming associated with this greenhouse gas, has stimulated research into the response of plants to elevated levels of CO2. Much of this work has been carried out in controlled environments which provide limited information about long-term effects on vegetation. In contrast, CO2-emitting mineral springs provide a unique opportunity to consider vegetation which has endured over many generations at naturally elevated levels of CO2. This volume presents findings from a range of sites, confirming the potential of these natural laboratories in the investigation of this important aspect of climate change. CO2-emitting mineral springs provide a unique opportunity to consider vegetation which has endured over many generations at naturally elevated levels of CO2. This volume confirms the potential of these natural laboratories in the continuing investigation of this important aspect of climate change. This item is printed on demand.

Book Description

The rise in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere since the start of industrialisation, and the associated global warming, has stimulated research into the response of plants to elevated levels of CO2. Co2-emitting mineral springs provide a unique opportunity to consider vegetation which has endured over many generations at naturally elevated levels of CO2. This volume presents findings from a range of sites, which confirm the potential of these natural laboratories in the investigation of this important aspect of climate change.
