African Tropical Rainforest: Flexing Its Muscles in Times of Stress: In what ways? ... and why?

Subject Index Summary
Interaction of CO2 and Water Stress on Plant Growth (Woody Species): An analysis of post-1994 peer-reviewed scientific papers describing the responses of several woody plants to atmospheric CO2 enrichment, while concurrently exposed to various degrees of water stress, demonstrates that the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 concentration will likely lead to substantial increases in the photosynthetic rates and biomass production of earth's trees and shrubs, even in the face of stressful environmental conditions imposed by less-than-optimum soil moisture availability.
