Enhancing Nutritional Quality Amid Rising CO₂
For many years, scientists and farmers alike have known that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) can stimulate plant growth. In C₃ crops such as wheat, rice, and soybeans, elevated CO₂ often boosts photosynthesis, increases biomass, and raises yields. This is sometimes called the “CO₂ fertilisation effect.” However, alongside these yield gains, researchers have uncovered a…
