Carbon dioxide phosphorus role

Phosphorus plays the starring role in many body functions. As a key ingredient of the energy production process in every cell of the body, adenosine triphosphate helps transform glucose into energy and carbon dioxide. Most enzyme reactions involving B-complex vitamins as cofactors can only take place in the presence of phosphorus. As an essential part of the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, it influences cell reproduction... 

Responses of terrestrial ecosystems to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration are of great current interest. Part of this debate relates to the role of limitation by various nutrients, like nitrogen, phosphorus and other vital nutrients on growth and biomass accumulation in terrestrial vegetation. Because vegetation must maintain a nutritional balance, it is expected that nutrient limitation will constrain responses to increased CO2 level.
