Abstract:

Since plants utilize CO₂ as the substrate for photosynthesis, terrestrial plants may be directly affected by increasing levels of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Plants native to the sagebrush steppe are predicted to increase in growth in response to elevated CO₂ through increased water use efficiency and higher photosynthetic rates. This...
