Sites of naturally elevated carbon dioxide / Migration in the ground of CO[subscript 2] and other volatile contaminants. Theory and survey / Levels of CO[subscript 2] leakage in relation to geology / CO[subscript 2] emission in volcanic areas: case histories and hazards / Controlled degassing of lakes with high CO[subscript 2] content in Cameroon: an opportunity for ecosystem CO[subscript 2]-enrichment experiments / Burning coal seams in southern Utah: a natural system for studies of plant responses to elevated CO[subscript 2] / Grace Van G. Ardingen and P.R. Van G. Ardingen -- G. Etiope -- G. Etiope and S. Lombardi -- M. Martini -- M. Mousseau, Z.H. Enoch and J.C. Sabroux -- J.R. Ehleringer, D.R. Sandquist and S.L. Philips.
The rise in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere since the start of industrialization, and the global warming associated with this greenhouse gas, has stimulated research into the response of plants to elevated levels of CO2. Much of this work has been carried out in controlled environments which provide limited information about long-term effects on vegetation. In contrast, CO2-emitting mineral springs provide a unique opportunity to consider vegetation which has endured over many generations at naturally elevated levels of CO2. This volume presents findings from a range of sites, confirming the potential of these natural laboratories in the investigation of this important aspect of climate change.
