Increased CO2 impacts agriculture through changes in precipitation patterns, heat stress, reduced soil moisture, soil salinity, accelerated weed growth, pest and disease proliferation, pollinator disruption, shifts in crop phenology, nutrient imbalances in crops, decreased water availability, altered growing seasons, and the possibility of novel crop diseases, to name just a few.
