Plant Responses to Rising Levels of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide: A Compilation and Analysis of the Results of a Decade of International Research into the Direct Biological Effects of Atmospheric CO₂ Enrichment, K.E. Idso, 185 pp., July 1992. Contact author at Inst. for Biospheric Res., 631 E. Laguna Dr., Tempe AZ 85282).

Prepared as a submission to the New Mexico Public Service Commission's integrated resource planning docket.
