'So the precise impact of elevated carbon dioxide depends on a variety of local factors. '
'During this period, which is relatively wet and cool in the climate record, the trees responded to the elevated carbon levels by incorporating more carbon. '
'A Canadian research team decided to track the impact of changing carbon levels over a much longer term. '
'The history showed things held steady up until around 1850, at which point atmospheric carbon levels began to rise. '
'Carbon dioxide is incorporated into sugars through the action of a rather inefficient enzyme, so simply having more of it around makes photosynthesis run smoothly. '
