Scientists Discover Potential Means to Lower Building CO2 Emissions

In the United States, use of energy in buildings—from cooling and heating house to keeping the lights on at workplace—leads to more than one-third of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Study Reveals the Effect of Scarce Phosphorus Content on Biomass Production

What amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) can tropical rainforests consume? A new study by a deeply involved international group of scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has shown that the absorption capacity is extremely restricted by the phosphorus content of the soil.

Rising CO2 Levels Could Boost Wheat Yield but Slightly Reduce Nutritional Quality

Levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) are rising, which experts predict could produce more droughts and hotter temperatures. Although these weather changes would negatively impact many plants’ growth, the increased CO2 availability might actually be advantageous because plants use the greenhouse gas to make food by photosynthesis.
