Anthropogenic carbon and ocean pH
Article Abstract:
The effect of CO2 emission on ocean pH is investigated by ocean-general circulation model forced on the pressure of atmospheric CO2 (pCO2) observed from 1975 to 2000. Results obtained from geological and historical records indicated that oceanic absorption of CO2 from fossil fuels might result in larger pH changes over the next several centuries.

Article Abstract:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere limits the growth of plants by its relatively low ambient concentration (less than 0.04 per cent by volume in the atmosphere). As a result, there is a shift in the competitive balance in the plant community, since few plants prefer higher levels of CO2.

Role of Co2 in the formation of gold deposits
Article Abstract:
Minor significance is attached to the role of carbon dioxide in the formation of gold deposits. It is necessary to examine interactions between various constituents during gold transport and deposition in order to understand the role of carbon dioxide.
