摘要

Ironically, the aspect of global climate change that we are most certain about, that there will be increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO_2 is also the factor about which we know the least in terms of its impact on weed competition. Increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO_2 ([CO_2]) is thought to lead to the carbon fertilisation effect (CFE) and increasing water use efficiency (WUE). However, the extent to which desirable plants and weeds will benefit, and how these effects are distributed throughout the plant kingdom are uncertain. CLIMEX was used to explore the effect of increasing ecosystem water use efficiency (eWUE) on the potential distribution of three tropical weed species. In the tropics, increases in eWUE may have very little effect on weed distribution compared with the projected changes in temperature and rainfall if plants use the 'extra' soil moisture to fuel additional growth. The effects of increasing CO_2 on tropical shrubs requires urgent research attention in realistic,competitive field situations to assess the vulnerability of primary production and biodiversity conservation sectors.
