C4 grasses prosper as carbon dioxide eliminates desiccation in warmed semi-arid grassland
JA Morgan, DR LeCain, E Pendall, DM Blumenthal… - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
Global warming is predicted to induce desiccation in many world regions through increases
in evaporative demand,,. Rising CO2 may counter that trend by improving plant water-use …
