AN IMPACT OF RISING ATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE ON PLANTS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA

Abstract

On the basis of the spatial mathematical model of the global carbon dioxide cycle in the biosphere the absorption of carbon dioxide emissions from the fossil fuel burning, deforestation, and soil erosion by terrestrial ecosystems was calculated for all the world and countries of the Central and South America. Effects of deforestation of tropical forests and soil erosion because of inappropriate land use and climate change were calculated until 2060 for countries of the Central and South America.
