Tropical Forests Rejoice! The facts seem inescapable—extra atmospheric CO2 is our gift to the trees growing throughout tropical regions!
New studies: 'At higher levels of CO2, the plants relax a bit, the CO2 is easier to extract from the atmosphere, the pores in the leaves through which transpiration takes place are smaller in diameter, and far less water escapes from the plants. The trees grow at the same rate with far less water!'
