ANN ARBOR, Michigan, May 6 (TNSJou) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release:
Carbon dioxide is known to have a fertilizing effect on plant growth, and the gas is often added to greenhouse crops to help improve yields.
Climate scientists have suggested that this same CO2 fertilization effect--acting on planetary rather than greenhouse scales--could help offset global warming by promoting the growth of trees and shrubs that store carbon released by . . .
