Truncated version of a Student Keeling graph - CO2 in the atmosphere from 1958 to (then) present (2008), showing seasonal variation, using data collected at Mauna Loa, Hawai`i.
[If you are a teacher and you decide to use this idea, please let me know. You can contact me for files with grids for graphing, and for charts of the data from 1958 to present.]
In 1958 Charles David Keeling set up a carbon dioxide testing station on Mauna Loa, on the Big Island of Hawai`i. Data has been collected there over the past 5 decades. Here's the web page for the CO2 program. The data can be found here. Remember that -99.99 means missing data.
WHOAAA!! CHECK OUT THE NEW DATA PAGE!!!
The photo above shows part of a graph my 8th graders put together this year. The vertical scale of the graph paper ranges from 310 to 390 ppm CO2. Each class did a graph. Each group did one sheet. Each sheet held 4 years of data. I invite other teachers to do the same exercise!! Let me know how it went.
Each student graphed at least 2 years of data. Some did more for extra credit. Once they had finished their sheet, I had them cut off one end and we overlapped the other end to make this composite graph. Sadly, all got discarded at the end of the year except this one, and this one ranges only from 1958 to 1992. The rest of the classes went all the way to 3/08, and contained 4 more sheets.
So, what's the trend of CO2 in the atmosphere over the last 50 years?
The curvy line indicates the monthly data, with seasonal fluctuations. The red line is a student group's approximation of the general trend of the data. The data itself ranged from about 314 to 386 ppm, from 1958 to 2008, or an increase of approximately 70 ppm. Starting at 314, and increasing by 70 ppm is an increase of 22% .......
TWENTY TWO PERCENT INCREASE IN THE CO2 CONTENT OF THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE PAST 50 YEARS!! That's an increase by more than one fifth! And that was in 2008.
So what? Well let's ignore the global warming issue for a moment. One of the less-discussed results of CO2 in the atmosphere is that it dissolves into the oceans, and forms carbonic acid [a small amount of the CO2 combines with water to form a small amount of H2CO3 in the solution], so this trend in atmospheric CO2 also points toward acidification of the oceans. Scientists have been investigating how this might affect the marine ecosystems, especially the near-surface waters, where the atmospheric gas absorption occurs.
Well, guess what? One thing that an acid can do is dissolve things like calcium carbonate, or reduce the rate of calcification. Now, CaCO3 [thanks phyto] just happens to be the primary ingredient of the shells and casings of various marine organisms, such as clams, oysters, snails/gastropods, corals, and many planktonic organisms such as calcareous algaes. But see the first link in phyto's comment below that indicates some organisms are actually producing CaCO3 at an increasing rate. (see, for example, this article.) So, if some ecologically important organisms (what organisms aren't ecologically important?) find it progressively more difficult to form shells and casings, then what?
Maybe we're being forced to find out. Over the past few years events have occurred where oyster larvae in the Pacific Northwest were dying prematurely. The cause was ultimately traced to pH fluctuations. Now the oyster production process must be adjusted to accommodate these fluctuations -- an adaptation that will only be effective as long as the high pH periods are not too acidic.
When I wrote the title, I was thinking of the dead trees contrasting with all of the foreground vegetation. However, the main weed here seems to be that obnoxious yellow parsnip: not deadly exactly but not nice either.

There is an ongoing problem in many areas of Canada with persons being injured through contact with the Wild Parsnip weed. The prolific spread and dense growth of Wild Parsnip throughout Eastern Ontario in recent years is seriously escalating this health risk in the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville.
Wild parsnip is of concern because humans develop a severe skin irritation from contact with sap from the plant. Wild Parsnip plants have chemicals called psoralens (more precisely, furocoumarins) that cause phyto-photodermatitis: an interaction between plants (phyto) and light (photo) that induce skin (derm) inflammation (itis). Once the furocoumarins are absorbed by the skin, they are energized by UV light on both sunny and cloudy days. They then bind to DNA and cell membranes, destroying cells and skin.
Wild Parsnip burns usually occur in streaks and elongated spots, reflecting where a damaged leaf or stem moved across the skin before exposure to sunlight. If the sap gets into the eyes, it may cause temporary or permanent blindness.
During much of July, August and early September wild parsnip is one of the most visible yellow-flowered weeds in roadside ditches, public recreation areas, around sports fields, fence rows, and along railroad tracks.

This image taken from the Suomi NPP satellite's VIIRS instrument of New Zealand was collected on January 9, 2015 when the phytoplankton were blooming — particularly to the east of the islands and along the Chatham Rise.
Derived from the Greek words phyto (plant) and plankton (made to wander or drift), phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that live in watery environments, both salty and fresh.

thoughts welcome
trying to find a different angle on berries

dark berries are so healthy it's crazy - from fat mobilising to weird phyto nutrients - they are the awesome fueil in the AM to put of afternoon slump - amazing

The active phyto-constituents of blue vervain are adenosine, aucubin, beta-carotene, caffeic-acid, citral, hastatoside, lupeol, ursolic-acid, verbenalin, verbenin. Researchers have discovered many therapeutic activities of these constituents including cellular apoptosis or anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, astringent, antispasmodic, diuretic, and anti-parasitic
