Discuss the effects of increased atmospheric CO2 may have on
a) plant diversity,
b) nutrition for plant consumers,
c) effects on the ecosystem.

Solution

Co2 effect on plant diversity, small quantity of the carbon dioxide is required for the synthesis of glucose by photosynthesis, but excess of the Carbon dioxide leads to increased in temperature leads to distruction of plants and animals. On nutrition for plant consumers, Carbon dioxide is one of the most common and widely distributed air pollutants. It is due to incomplete combustion of Carbon containing materials such as automobiles and incinerators. Any fluctuation in ambient concentration is only slowly reflected in carboxyhemoglobin levels in humans. This also leads to immediate death by suffocation also may leads to respiratory diseases, cardio respiratory diseases. It also associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Effects on ecosystem, The air is progressively contaminated with carbon dioxide and oxygen content decreases due to metabolic processes. Increased in temperature as physical changes Increased air humidity and decreased air movements. Body odour and bacterial pollution also seen Distruction of plants and animal life, corrosion of metals , damage to buildings. Cost of cleaning and maintenance and repair and aesthetic nuisance. Also damage to clothing.
