The plants will not be incurred by both climate change, as feared scientists

As the temperature rises on Earth due to climate change, the plants will release less carbon dioxide than feared up to now scientists, according to a new, more reassuring american scientific research. Thanks to the “self-regulation”, the plants seem to will not be incurred by the atmosphere of the planet so much.
The researchers, led by professor Peter Rich, of the University of Minnesota, who made the relevant publication in the journal “Nature”, they experimented for five years with about 1,200 trees, aged two years, from ten different species of the temperate zone, which were found in a controlled laboratory environment with increased 3.5 degrees Celsius temperatures.
To the surprise of scientists, in a depth of time and the ten species have adapted without a problem at elevated temperatures (analogous to the possible future due to climate change).
While, in accordance with to the models of scientists, the increased temperature would have to increase by 23% in the release of carbon dioxide by plants, the increase has not exceeded 5%.
Of course, this, as pointed out by scientists, does not negate the need to curb emissions of “greenhouse gases” and as a matter of urgency.
But it creates a relative optimism that the plants will not exacerbate this problem.
The plants and microbes of the Earth absorb and emit huge amounts of carbon dioxide.
It is estimated that within a year the plants in the process of their breath – unleash the night about 117 to 118 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, six times the quantity in relation to the burning of fossil fuels by humans.
On the other hand, through photosynthesis, plants absorb the day around 120 δισκατομμύρια tons of carbon dioxide, that is, two to three billion tons more than what emit.
But when rising the temperature of the environment, then the plants release increased carbon dioxide, without increasing, respectively, and the quantities they absorb.
While previous experiments had shown that an increase by three to four degrees Celsius in temperature would increase the release of carbon dioxide by at least 20%, the new study shows that the increase will probably be up to 5% – so it’s probably a little evil.
According to a new study, the plants that have adapted well to heat, they release much less carbon dioxide in the evening, from what had been assumed up to now.
