Carbon dioxide fertilization refers to the positive effect of increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on plant growth and productivity. As CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere rise due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, plants can benefit from this increase.

CO2 is an essential component of photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and CO2 into energy-rich sugars. Higher CO2 levels enhance the efficiency of photosynthesis, as plants have more CO2 available for this process. This can lead to increased plant growth, biomass production, and crop yields.

Carbon dioxide fertilization has been observed in various types of plants, including crops, trees, and grasses. It can also have positive effects on water use efficiency, as plants under elevated CO2 levels tend to reduce water loss through their stomata (small openings on leaves).

However, the effects of carbon dioxide fertilization can vary depending on other environmental factors, such as nutrient availability, temperature, and water availability. Additionally, the long-term impacts of increased CO2 levels on ecosystems and biodiversity are still being studied.

While carbon dioxide fertilization can have short-term benefits for plant growth and productivity, it is important to address the underlying cause of increased CO2 levels, which is human-induced climate change. The excessive release of CO2 into the atmosphere contributes to global warming and other negative environmental impacts. Therefore, efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change remain crucial.
