In Australia, policy interests relating to effects of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) on plant productivity are based on the fact that these effects will flow directly - one way or another - into the economies of Australia’s agricultural and forest industries, and thus will impact on the economic and social well being of all Australia’s rural communities. The report assesses our current understanding of the likely effects of increasing atmospheric CO2 on plant growth in Australia under a changing climate. It aims to: clarify the current state of science, from a policy perspective, and identify the important areas of science where there is not yet consensus, as an indication of the most important research challenges for the coming years.
