Studies have indicated that plant stomatal conductance (gs) decreases in response to elevated atmospheric CO2, a phenomenon of significance for the global hydrological cycle. However, gs increases across certain CO2...

Can kelp help halt human hubris?
If we hope kelp is going to mitigate climate change, then we might need to think again about over-fishing and kelp harvesting.

This item concerns uses of botanical bits-and-pieces in ways that Nature never intended. But having also brought forth Man, that natural entity has given that creation’s ingenuity free rein and he has come up with...
Stomatal density and aperture in non-vascular plants are non-responsive to above-ambient CO2 concentrations
Stomata are one of the crucial adaptations in the evolution of the land flora and the development of the terrestrial landscape and atmosphere on Earth. These microscopic pores on the plant epidermis first appeared in...

Convoluted carbon cycle collection
Of all the biogeochemical cycles that help to sustain life on Earth, the carbon cycle is arguably the most important (although not necessarily the most straightforward!). The following collection of papers help to...
Breeding crops with deeper roots could ‘slash CO2 levels’
Breeding crops with roots a metre deeper in the ground could lower atmospheric CO2 levels dramatically, with significant environmental benefits, according to research by a leading University of Manchester scientist...
