Increasing atmospheric CO2: effects on crop yield, water use and climate

TL;DR: Kimball et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the effects of increasing global atmospheric CO 2 concentration on crop yield, crop water use, and world climate, and showed that the primary effects on agriculture are likely to be the beneficial increases in crop yields and water use efficiency.

Implications of Increasing Carbon Dioxide and Climate Change for Agricultural Productivity and Water Resources

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that about 5 to 10% of the actual rate of increase of agricultural productivity worldwide can be attributed to the fertilizing effect of rising atmospheric CO2.

The effect of changing climate on Australian biomass production — a preliminary study

TL;DR: For example, in this paper, it was shown that for Australia an increase in the extent of the summer rainfall regime is likely, with a decrease in winter rainfall, similar to a change which took place over much of Australia in the 1940's.

Sustainability of the Great Plains in an Uncertain Climate

TL;DR: This paper examined the potential for broad social adaptation to climate change on the Great Plains, and how inquiry into regional agricultural sustainability can be sharpened by examining the sustainability of Plains agriculture in the absence of climate change.

Carbon dioxide levels in the biosphere: Effects on plant productivity

TL;DR: In the past 25 years, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has been increasing at the rate of 1.5 parts per million (ppm) per year as mentioned in this paper, a 9% increase.
