Elevated CO2 Enhances the Removal of Cadmium and Lead Contamination from Toxic Soils (28 April 2017)
According to the authors of this study, "elevated CO2 benefited the microenvironment in the rhizosphere of R. pseudoacacia seedlings under Cd and Pb stress by increasing the concentration of dissolved organic carbon and organic compounds, microbial population, and microbial and enzyme activity"...

A Sea Anemone's Response to Ocean Acidification (21 April 2017)
Higher levels of pCO2 induce a reduction in an important energy-demanding enzyme involved in the process of dissolved inorganic carbon absorption, which frees up the availability of energy to be used elsewhere, thereby allowing A. viridis to survive and even thrive under future projections of ocean acidification...

The Impact of Elevated CO2 and Nitrogen Supply on Sunflower Growth and Senescence (18 April 2017)
Elevated CO2 levels stimulated sunflower growth under either low or high levels of nitrogen availability, whereas it advanced leaf senescence in the low nitrogen treatment but delayed it in the high nitrogen treatment...
Soil Respiration Responses to Experimental Warming (18 April 2017)
The more CO2 that is yearly expired to the atmosphere by Earth's soils, the greater is the likelihood that global temperatures will decline as time progresses...
