That was a typo. It should have been "CO2 is not the only nutient plants need" as should have obvious from the rest of sentence (which you have carefully snipped). The sentence went on "and many plants adapt to high CO2 levels by having fewer stomata in their leaves, so that they lose less water getting the CO2 they can use - and water is harder to get than CO2."

Where did you learn biology?

I did first year biology at the University of Melbourne in 1960, and I've had a a subscription to New Scientist since about 1984 when my wife and I started making enough money for that kind of extravagance.
My mother had an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Adelaide (1936-38) and was getting on with a Masters when the war broke out and she got "manpowered" off to replace a man in an industrial chemistry lab - actually a pulp and paper mill in Tasmania, where she ended up marrying my father (who had also been an undergraduate in Adelaide (in physical chemistry, and had played hockey with my mother's older brother who had done medicine).
My mother's even older sister had done a degree in geology, but could not get enough work as a geologist, so did a year's extra training in dietetics.and ran the nutrition department at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne for about thirty years.

Marian Turner was small - as was my mother - but terrifying.
You are being almost as snotty as John Larkin.
