Si l'on en croit les climatologues, les hausses de température provoquées par l'augmentation de l'effet de serre promettent quelques évolutions notables des paysages dans les campagnes du monde entier.

Like any other nutrient, CO₂ is required for plant growth. Just as higher concentrations of nutrients in the soil enhance growth, higher concentrations of CO₂ in the air do the same. Hence, the enrichment of the atmosphere with CO₂ is termed CO₂ fertilization.  4, record 5, English, - carbon%20dioxide%20fertilization
