This report evaluates the expected responses of aquatic plants to elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO/sub 2/. We include aquatic plants with emergent foliage, as well as submersed macrophytes and microscopic algae and consider both freshwater and marine plants. We review known effects of inorganic carbon on aquatic plants, project the possible effects of a doubling in atmospheric CO/sub 2/ on aquatic plants, and discuss needed research on this problem. 192 references, 6 figures, 1 table.
