Carbon Dioxide and Environmental Stress

* Will rising CO2 alter the importance of environmental stress in natural and agricultural ecosystems?* Will environmental stress on plants reduce their capacity to remove CO2 from the atmosphere?* Are some stresses more important than others as we concern ourselves with global change?* Can we develop predictive models useful for scientists and policy-makers?* Where should future research efforts be focused? Zusammenfassung Focuses on the interactive effects of environmental stresses with plant and ecosystem functions, especially with respect to changes in the abundance of carbon dioxide. This book considers the responses of the above-ground portion of the plant, and emphasizes the role of below-ground components in determining the nature of these interactions.
