OBS

CO2 fertilizing effect; CO2 fertilization effect: The number 2 is subscripted.

  • Changements climatiques
CONT

Sous l'effet notamment de l'enrichissement de l'air en gaz carbonique, leur aliment de prédilection, les plantes absorberaient ainsi de plus en plus de carbone [...] Sur plusieurs espèces d'arbres, comme le sapin pectiné des Vosges, l'épaisseur des cernes d'accroissement annuel est en augmentation depuis 1850. Cet effet fertilisant pourrait favoriser l'absorption de 0,3 à 1,5 milliard de tonnes de carbone.

OBS

effet fertilisant du CO2 : Le chiffre 2 s'écrit en indice.
