Abstract Groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.), is an important legume cash crop for the tropical
farmers and its seeds contain high amounts of edible oil (43–55%) and protein (25–28%) …

The global environment is constantly changing and our planet is getting warmer at an
unprecedented rate. The study of the carbon cycle, and soil respiration, is a very active area …

Increased atmospheric CO2 often but not always leads to large decreases in leaf
conductance. Decreased leaf conductance has important implications for a number of …

Reproductive traits are key characteristics for predicting the response of communities and
ecosystems to global change.• We used meta‐analysis to integrate data on eight …

Continuing increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (CO2) will likely be
accompanied by global warming. Our research objectives were (a) to determine the effects …

Crops of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Hereward) were grown within temperature
gradient tunnels at a range of temperatures at either c. 350 or 700 μmol mol− 1 CO2 in …

Global warming is changing climate in terms of increased frequency of extreme weather
events as well as increased air temperature and vapor pressure deficit of air and spatial and …

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) of the Earth´ s atmosphere is increasing, which has the
potential of increasing greenhouse effect and air temperature in the future. Plants respond to …

Fractional ground cover, fractional PAR interception (f), canopy extinction coefficient (k) and
radiation-use efficiency (RUE) for wheat, pea and mustard were examined in a field …

Definitions of the variables used and the units are given in Table 1 The literature reports
enormous variation between species in the extent of stomatal responses to rising CO2. This …
