 .Gaia Theory, the Earth adapts
 .p96 Free Air Carbon Dioxide Experiment (FACE) south of Phoenix
  .Air above test plants at 550 ppm CO₂, p100 14 percent less protein in wheat
 .p100 higher CO₂ improves water and nutrient use efficiency
  .stomata open more briefly to let in CO₂, less water escapes
  .Cactus wait for cool night to collect CO₂
  .FACE: 14% less protein in wheat, 10% to 20% less calcium and zinc in soybeans
 .p152 Weathering turns bedrock into soil, erosion moves soil downslope
 .p152 Ocean bicarbonate and carbonate holds 50x more carbon than air
 .p151 Robert Berner
 .p155 weathering increases in warm moist climates
  .Iceland: Weathering rates under trees 4x faster than neighboring ground
  .plants increase weathering 2x to 10x
  .plants with penetrating roots appeared 380 Mya, during Devonian, lichens have less ability
  .plants increase CO₂ in soil 10x to 100x, produce organic, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humic_acid|humic and fulvic]] acids.
