Elevated [CO2] mitigates the effect of surface drought by stimulating root growth to access sub-soil water.

Elevated [CO2] mitigates the effect of surface drought by stimulating root growth to access sub-soil water.

Through stimulation of root growth, increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) may facilitate access of crops to sub-soil water, which could potentially prolong physiological activity in dryland environments, particularly because crops are more water use efficient under elevated [CO2] (e[CO2])...
