For example I'd expect the gains from increased CO2 concentration for C4 plants like corn, sugar cane, and sorghum to be quite small if gains were observed at all, although they're probably better positioned to cope with the rising temperatures, which, if I'm remembering this right, increases the problems with photo-respiration for C3 plants.
