"Salt stress is a serious challenge to the growth and yield of crops in many parts of the world ... CO2 enrichment has been shown to lead to numerous physiological and metabolic benefits that improve plant growth and yield."


 "CO2 enrichment can effectively alleviate the damage of tomato seedlings caused by [salt] stress, and it can be considered as a feasible strategy to manage secondary salinization in [controlled-environment greenhouse] vegetable production".
