{"product_id":"9780080500706","title":"Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe importance of carbon dioxide extends from cellular to global levels of organization and potential ecological deterioration may be the result of increased CO2 in our atmosphere. Recently, the research emphasis shifted from studies of photosynthesis pathways and plant growth to ground-breaking studies of carbon dioxide balances in ecosystems, regions, and even the entire globe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems\u003c\/i\u003e addresses these new areas of research. Economically important woody ecosystems are emphasized because they have substantial influence on global carbon dioxide balances. Herbaceous ecosystems (e.g., grasslands, prairies, wetlands) and crop ecosystems are also covered. The interactions among organisms, communities, and ecosystems are modeled, and the book closes with an important synthesis of this growing nexus of research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems\u003c\/i\u003e is a compilation of detailed scientific studies that reveal how ecosystems generally, and particular plants specifically, respond to changed levels of carbon dioxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributions from an international team of experts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpirical examination of the actual effects of carbon dioxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariety of terrestrial habitats investigated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific plants and whole ecosystems offered as studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108165566704,"sku":"9780080500706","price":101.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080500706_p0.jpg?v=1763637360","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080500706","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
