" In addition, the composition of the cheatgrass changed as the CO2
level increased, the tissues becoming more carbon-rich so that the
plant leaves and stems are less susceptible to decay. In a natural
setting, this would mean that the dead material would persist longer,
adding yet more fuel for wildfire.”

Bull****! And waht has it to do with the IR spctroscopy of CO2?

A plant consists essentially of cellulose, water, a little starch and
small amounts of various sugars dissolved in the water.

All of these have fixed empirical formulae. The proportions of each
element involved in their composition is constant.

How then does one get carbon rich cellulose for instance or "carbon
rich" others for that matter.
