Tropical plants with thick leaves will likely respond very successfully to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study from the University of Washington.
The researchers found that competition between species, as well as multiple changes in the plant leaves, could preserve the ability of tropical forests to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
It is difficult for scientists to predict how various plant species will respond to rising levels of carbon dioxide, particularly in…
