Plant ecology: Favoured aliens for the future
Peter D. Moore1
Abstract
Some species of plant will prefer a world with higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. When those species are invasive pests, the invaders may well flourish at the expense of the native vegetation.
Concern about the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere centres on global warming. But CO2 is of course also the raw material of photosynthesis, and the growth of some plants is often limited by its relatively low ambient concentration (less than 0.
