Rising CO2 Lowers Nutrition Value Of Crops
2014-05-08 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Redorbit: Grains, legumes and other crops that provide a large percentage of the world with most of their dietary zinc and iron will have dramatically reduced concentrations of those nutrients by 2050 due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study led by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). The researchers studied multiple varieties of wheat, rice, field peas, soybeans, maize and sorghum grown in fields with atmospheric carbon dioxide levels comparable to those expected...

Rising carbon dioxide levels affect nutrients in crops, study says

LA Times: The increased concentration of carbon dioxide that comes with climate change could mean some basic food plants will carry lower concentrations of iron and zinc -- and deficiencies of those nutrients are already a "substantial global public health problem," scientists reported Wednesday. The edible portions of many of the key crops for human nutrition have decreased nutritional value when compared with the same plants grown at the present ambient [carbon dioxide]. - Study published in the journal...

Rising CO2 levels threaten human nutrition, study says

CBC: When carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reaches levels anticipated for the middle of this century, some staple crops that many of the worlds poorest people depend upon for sustenance will become less nutritious, new research suggests. In a study led by the Harvard University School of Public Health and published Wednesday in the journal Nature, an international team of scientists found that iron and zinc concentrations were substantially reduced in wheat, rice, soybean and pea crops when they were...

Nature World: Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are zapping greens and legumes of their nutrients, according to a new study in the journal Nature. Pictured: Researchers using the Free Air Concentration Enrichment (FACE) system at the University of Illinois to simulate future atmospheric conditions. Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are zapping greens and legumes of their nutrients, according to a new study in the journal Nature. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are currently approaching 400 parts per million...
