Growth Response to CO2 with Other Variables (Temperature: Agricultural Crops) -- Summary

Quotes

Smith et al. conclude the report of their work by stating that their data suggest that "existing biogeochemical cycling models parameterized with data from species grown in monoculture may be underestimating the belowground response to global change." Indeed, the CO2-induced enhancement of tree root growth out in the realreal world of nature may actually be much larger than we have long believed

Growth Responses of Tree Roots to Atmospheric CO2 Enrichment [Published CO2 Science - May 21 2013]

The authors write that "climate change is expected to bring about alterations in the marine physical and chemical environment that will induce changes in the concentration of dissolved CO2 and in nutrient availability" while noting that these changes "are expected to affect the physiological performance of phytoplankton," and, we would add to do so in ways that the...

More CO2 but Less Nitrogen: A Double Whammy for Diatoms? [Published CO2 Science - May 21 2013]

Coming to a conclusion that simply could not be avoided, Barkhordarian et al. state that "the detection of an outright sign mismatch of observed and projected trends in autumn and late summer, leads us to conclude that the recently observed trends cannot be used as an illustration of plausible future expected change in the Mediterranean region" once again illustrating the folly of placing too much faith in even the best of climate model projections

Modeling Precipitation Over the Mediterranean Region [Published CO2 Science - May 21 2013]

In the blunt but true words of the three researchers, "all models exhibit lower interannual variability than reanalysis data and observations, and none of the models reproduce the recent decline in wind speed that is manifest in the near-surface observations [italics added]."
