  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004164",
  "term": "Carbon dioxide fertilizing effect",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The observed increase in photosynthetic rates and biomass accumulation in plants when exposed to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. This effect is a direct physiological response of plants to higher CO2 availability, which can enhance carbon uptake and water use efficiency. It is a factor considered in climate change models regarding future terrestrial carbon sinks.",
