Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Concentration And The Future Of C4 Crops For Food And Fuel

C4 crops (e.g. maize and sorghum) are vital to global food supply, particularly in the tropical regions where human well-being and agricultural productivity are most closely linked. While rising atmospheric [CO2] drives the climate change that threatens to reduce future crop yields, it also has the potential to benefit crops. Unlike C3 crops (e.g.
