TREES USE WATER MORE EFFICIENTLY AS CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS RISE Trees use water more efficiently as carbon dioxide levels rise, a newly published peer-reviewed study reports. Scientists with the U.S. Forest Service, Harvard University, Ohio State University, Indiana University, and Germany’s Institute of Meteorology and Climate found rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are having a “direct and unexpectedly strong influence” on photosynthesis, water efficiency, and plant growth. The study finds rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels will enhance plant productivity and plant resistance to drought. nrs.fs.fed.us/news/release/trees-water-atmospheric-co2
