Simulating the Impacts of Climate Change on UH Manoa Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Growth by Modifying Air Temperature, Soil Water Availability, and Atmospheric CO2 Concentration
Nicholas Yos, Camilo Mora, Kira Webster, Kyle McDowell
This study examines how elevated CO2, temperature, and water availability affect lettuce growth, finding that while CO2 boosts biomass, high temperatures and extreme water levels reduce survival and yield.
