This page presents notes on scientific published articles related to Positive effects.

Article: "Rising CO₂ Levels and the Fecundity of Forest Trees."
Carbon dioxide enrichment of 19-year-old loblolly pine for three years resulted in trees twice as likely to be reproductively mature, and produced three times as many cones and seeds.

Article: "Climatic Control of the High-Latitude Vegetation Greening Trend and Pinatubo Effect."

Gradual lengthening of growing season in high northern latitudes has resulted in greening trend.
Following Mount Pinatubo volcano eruption in 1991, trend was interrupted, producing increased carbon sink, contributing to slowdown in global rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide growth.
