PS Seminar Series - Turning up the heat: How will climate change affect forests and crops?  »

12pm 6 April 2023
Assoc Professor Danielle Way - Way Group - Plant Ecophysiology and Global Change Biology
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations could reach >1000 ppm by 2100, increasing global temperatures 3-4 °C. Both elevated CO2 and warming affect photosynthesis, altering plant growth, survival, and crop yield and quality.
