There are so many ramifications of climate change, many of which we’re probably not even aware of yet. Over on one of our sister sites, ecoscraps<\/a>, Heather Carr recently wrote about one such ramification:<\/p>\n

Weed biology and climate change is a hot topic among plant scientists. The potential effects of increasing carbon dioxide on plants is being studied for both its potential benefits and drawbacks.<\/p>\n

Dr. Lewis Ziska and Dr. Jeffrey Dukes edited the recently released book, \u201cWeed Biology and Climate Change<\/a>\u201d, which examines the effects of global warming on noxious weeds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An interview of Dr. Dukes<\/a> on these topics was published on the Wiley-Blackwell Life Sciences blog, and in it Dr. Dukes notes that while a weed is just a plant growing in a place you don’t want it to grow, the weeds talked about in the book above could actually cause serious economic and environmental damage.<\/p>\n

Note something we want to have to deal with.<\/p>\n
