PREDICTING ECOSYSTEM RESPONSES TO ELEVATED CO2 CONCENTRATIONS

One of the many changes occurring in the biosphere due to human activities is the increase in the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. This change is due both to the burning of fossil fuels and to deforestation. We do not know how these changes are affecting terrestrial ecosystems. This ignorance is partly because we have relatively poor records of the functional and structural response of any ecosystem through time. More studies are required to be able to accurately assess the effects of carbon dioxide.
