C3/C4 Crops

Chuck, you are a big proponent of scientific literature. Can you find any peer-reviewed papers to back up your assertion that higher CO2 does not help plants cope with drought better?

Your previous post contradicts all of the scientific literature that I have ever seen.

Just bumping this post up because Chuck must have missed it. He's generally very efficient about responding with credible scientific evidence to back up his claims.

At auckland airport time to kill thought id have look at agriville.

100% agree jazz wether or not climate change happens our rainfall here will actually increase if it warms

The narrative is changing or is it common sense or middle ground who knows.

I never said anything about CO2 and drought.

But what I said is that a moisture shortage along hotter and dryer summers will still be the biggest limiting factor on yields.

Increasing CO2 levels won't change this.

Were the recent low drought yields in southern Alberta higher because of higher CO2 levels?

chuck have you found a peer reviewed article yet to counter the C3/C4 settled science.

Be happy, your alleged 40 quarter farm is going to be making tons of cash.

So are you sure moisture is not the most important limiting factors on your farm Jazz?

Funny when we came to canada almost 20 years ago we were strongly advised to buy good heavy land because it typically is lack of moisture that limits crop potential !! and that why we bought B land in manitoba , guess what CC dryer summers are perfectly normal for canada , allways have been and allways will be , not fantasy climate change

Hmm, doesnt warmer air hold more moisture. Seems like 1.5C in warming (if it happens) is going to be great for planet earth. Just like it was in the Jurassic.

Maybe get be better time spent getting the spraying done and get the fungicide for your 9 lbs / ac seeded canola chuck
maybe pay a bit more attention to your farming practices and less time here . But me thinks you ain’t the farmer in the household

[chuckChuck]

So moisture is not the biggest limiting factor on most of the prairies? Good soil helps. But we are not all blessed with good soil.

But if its hotter and dryer and there is no moisture reserve, more CO2 won't make much difference.

But don't let that stop you from wrongly claiming more CO2 will be good for the planet!
