Study: Future drought will offset benefits of higher CO2 on soybean yields
2016-09-05 10:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scienmag: An eight-year study of soybeans grown outdoors in a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere like that expected by 2050 has yielded a new and worrisome finding: Higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations will boost plant growth under ideal growing conditions, but drought -- expected to worsen as the climate warms and rainfall patterns change -- will outweigh those benefits and cause yield losses much sooner than anticipated. (See video) The new discovery, reported in the journal Nature Plants, contradicts a...
