Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "with global warming comes an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. As a result, plants in general grow faster and crop yields are higher, but weeds are outstripping crops in their reaction to increased carbon dioxide." Reports that "increased atmospheric carbon dioxide caused poison ivy to grow faster and larger and to develop a more allergenic form of urushiol, a compound that is a skin irritant to humans." Suggests that "[one] can no longer assume that the weed control strategies...used in the past will continue to work...While researchers explore new approaches, [one] will need to mix and match the strategies...available." |
