Tim of ThyArt 20 Jun 2019 / updated: 20/Jun/2019 Does CO2 cause less nutritional food crops? Depletion of nutrients from the soil is not an issue of too much CO2 but over use of the land growing one particular plant that depends on particular nutrients affecting the crop yield and nutritional worth. This is overcome by crop rotation, and adding fertilizer and nutrients to the soil. The claims are that added CO2 in the atmosphere promote growth while the crop has less nutritional value. Farmers have a fix for this. The studies not only controlled CO2 but deceitfully also nutrients. Studies prove that increased CO2 does increase food crop growth but it is less nutritional. Deceptive LIE! A great example of the peer review process as a failure was put forward in a forum by a scientist that does peer-reviews. His specific topic involved a study that subject was increased CO2 causing increased plant growth but decreased nutritional value. His statement was the review process is evaluating the language and overall correctness of the study. The study used controlled specimens were the nutrients were set constant while the CO2 was the variable. Since the nutrients and container of growth was restricted, there were no more nutrients available to either with a result that the increased CO2 specimen did grow faster and more but it had less overall nutritional value per mass. Within the wording and the context presented, it was correct, leaving no solid reason to reject the study. Such studies that include restrictive experimentation can be deceptive in the application to a real world environment. Wikipedia "Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar or different types of crops in the same area in sequenced seasons. It is done so that the soil of farms is not used for only one set of nutrients. It helps in reducing soil erosion and increases soil fertility and crop yield." Yes, farmers are knowledgeable that soil can become nutrient depleted if the same crop is planted constantly (monocropping). They counter this nutrient depletion by altering crops each season. A good rotation practice is to from the potato family, to legumes, to brassicas, to the root family, to the potato family, and so on in rotation. This is not practical for most farmers so adding fertilizer and nutrients to the soil overcomes this problem. The claims are that added CO2 in the atmosphere promote growth while the crop has less nutritional value. Farmers already adapt for this issue.
