I don't think anyone's pointed to this yet: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/magazine/29weeds-t.html
There's lots of interesting material on plants' response to increasing CO2, shifts in climate, and human activity. It also asks the more and more frequent questions of "what's a weed" and "how does this invasive stuff invade, anyway?" Kudzu may be on its way here, but if we rip it out and send the roots in for processing, we can have some extra ethanol. (Or maybe just brew kudzu whiskey?) It's kind of a long wander, but it wanders though some good places.
