Greenhouse Carbon Dioxide Supplementation - Oklahoma State University

By Megha Poudel and Bruce Dunn. Learn about carbon dioxide, its concentration in relation to plants, supplementation, the effect of supplemental CO2 on different growing factors, sources of carbon dioxide and control and distribution of CO2.

The carbon dioxide level may drop to 150 to 200 parts per million during the day in a sealed greenhouse, because CO2 is utilized by plants for photosynthesis during daytime. Exposure of plants to lower levels of CO2 even for a short period can reduce rate of photosynthesis and plant growth.

Interesting reading on why they enrich co2 levels to 1,000ppm in greenhouses. Above 1,800ppm, they think it may cause plant damage. As plants are categorised, it's likely tomatoes and cucumbers that might get upset. So eat more meat!!

If you're thinking of using a greenhouse, give it a read, you might want to use extra co2.

You know, when you ferment wine it produces a lot of carbon dioxide gas. The little yeast guys eat sugar, piss ethanol and exhale carbon dioxide.

A natural way to enrich your greenhouse with carbon dioxide is to ferment wine in there.

CO2 is the green gas.

Some aquarium plants also need added CO2 ... especially if we're running short of fish ... "Carbon dioxide provides your aquatic plants with enough supplementation to help their plants grow to their full potential. It makes photosynthesis easier for your plants. This is important as it helps your plant to produce its food and oxygen which is essential for your aquarium’s environment." -- {Cite} ...

Plants absorb the nitrates that fish produce ... the fish waste is poisonous to the fish, but is used as fertilizer for the plants ... but you need enough CO2 in the water ...

I do not get the alarmism that happens considering it is legal for beverage firms to load our drinks up with CO2. I never hear the alarmists talking of that.

You should probably warn the authorities. Obviously the carbonated beverage companies are attempting to kill off life on the planet.

Carbonic acid ... one of the main causes of ocean acidification ... remember the hysteria about that? ... girls still get their knickers in a knot over that one even though we drink the stuff ... and of course the other acid involved is deoxyribonucleic acid ... plants and photosynthetic bacteria ...

Hysteria? Do you think no one is worried about acidification anymore? Do you believe it has been found to not be a problem or that it is not taking place?

 

[Crick]

Hysteria? Do you think concern about ocean acidification is unwarranted?

Ocean acidification

Almost one quarter of human-caused carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions are absorbed by oceans, resulting in ocean acidification, i.e. a decrease in the ocean water pH. Ocean acidification has increased rapidly causing pH to drop by approximately 30% since the pre-industrial era. Further decreases...

Acidifying oceans will cause a diversity and survival crisis for microscopic marine organisms, finds research

Oceanic responses to climate and human interactions have been studied for decades. In recent years the effects of increasing ocean acidity have been featured, with stark images of coral reefs being decimated by bleaching.

CO2 in my drinks. So good for my tummy.

Nope, I like carbonated drinks.

Whom ever invented CO2 drinks in beverages should have got a Nobel Prize. It is used globally I believe.

It becomes a super-saturated solution when you release the pressure. When the container is sealed and the pressure is high, it is not super-saturated.

Beer ...

The brewing thereof requires time spent in one location ... something our hunter/gatherer forebearers had to collectively support so the ugly could get laid ... (and who doesn't need a little help in that department) ... civilization itself began with beer ... the reason for permanent settlements ...

Because it is not relevant.

Hell, Will as in strength. Not a will and testament.
