AUSTIN, Texas, May 7 (TNSJou) -- The University of Texas issued the following news release on May 6, 2022:
The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere has only a small influence on changes in tropical ecosystems despite evidence of enhanced plant growth under elevated CO2 scenarios in greenhouse experiments, according to a new international study.
That means it's unlikely that tropical forests will expand in response to rising greenhouse gas l . . .
