Use of carbon dioxide in agriculture

Abstract

The carbon cycle in the biosphere has been significantly altered by man's activities in the last 150 years. The CO2 emitted by human activity is approximately 8.5 billion of tons yearly, as a consequence, the carbon dioxide concentration is increasing. Studies related to the artificial increase effects of CO2 concentration on plants used for obtaining products in greater quantity and with a better quality permit us to know the capacity of the plants to adapt in this environment. Therefore, factors related to the application of carbon dioxide need more accurate studies concerning to carbon dioxide changes.
