Accounting for Plant Nutrient Uptake in Climate Models
- "Climate scientists have not been properly accounting for what plants do at night, and that, it turns out, is a mistake. A new study from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has found that plant nutrient uptake in the absence of photosynthesis affects greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere." However: "No matter what, plants will not keep up with anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions; it's just that they might do better than current models suggest." - Excerpt from Berkeley Lab.
