Abstract
During the last decade the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations has been approximately 1 μg g−1 yr−1 (Bischof, 1977). The concentration in 1977 was ca. 329 μg g−1 (Keeling and Bacastow, 1977). This increase was mainly from the accelerated combustion of fossil fuels and Man’s increased disturbance of terrestrial ecosystems.
