Carbon dioxide fertilization
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004163
The process by which increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations stimulate photosynthesis and growth in plants. This effect can lead to higher biomass production, particularly in C3 plants, and may influence global carbon cycles. However, other factors like nutrient availability and water stress can limit its extent.
