1. Plants growing in deep shade and high temperature, such as in the understorey of humid tropical forests, have been predicted to be particularly sensitive to rising atmospheric CO2 . We tested this hypothesis in five species whose microhabitat quantum flux density (QFD) was documented as a covariable. After 7 (tree seedlings of Tachigalia versicolor and Beilschmiedia pendula ) and 18 months (shrubs Piper cordulatum and Psychotria limonensis, and grass Pharus latifolius ) of elevated CO2 treatment ( c. 700 μl litre–1 ) under mean QFD of less than 11 μmol m–2 s–1 , all species produced more biomass (25–76%) under elevated CO2 .
2. Total plant biomass tended to increase with microhabitat QFD (daytime means varying from 5 to 11μmol m–2 s–1 ) but the relative stimulation by elevated CO2 was higher at low QFD except in Pharus .
3. Non-structural carbohydrate concentrations in leaves increased significantly in Pharus (+ 27%) and Tachigalia (+ 40%).
4. The data support the hypothesis that tropical plants growing near the photosynthetic light compensation point are responsive to elevated CO2 . An improved plant carbon balance in deep shade is likely to influence understorey plant recruitment and competition as atmospheric CO2 continues to rise. 相似文献

1. As part of a long-term study of the effects of elevated CO2 on biodiversity and ecosystem function in a calcareous grassland, we measured ecosystem carbon dioxide and water-vapour fluxes over 24-h periods during the 1994 and 1995 growing seasons. Data were used to derive CO2 and H2 O gas-exchange response functions to quantum flux density (QFD).
2. The relative increase in net ecosystem CO2 flux (NEC) owing to CO2 enrichment increased as QFD rose. Daytime NEC at high QFD under elevated CO2 increased by 25% to 60%, with the greatest increases in the spring and after mowing in June when above-ground biomass was lowest. There was much less stimulation of NEC in early June and again in October when the canopy was fully developed. Night-time NEC was not significantly altered under elevated CO2 .
3. Short-term reversal of CO2 concentrations between treatments after two seasons of CO2 exposure provided evidence for a 50% downward adjustment of NEC expressed per unit above-ground plant dry weight. However, when expressed on a land area basis, this difference disappeared because of a c. 20% increase in above-ground biomass under elevated CO2 .
4. Ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) was not significantly altered by elevated CO2 when averaged over all measurement dates and positions. However, ET was reduced 3–18% at high QFD in plots at the top of the slope at our study site. In summary, CO2 enrichment resulted in a large stimulation of ecosystem CO2 capture, especially during periods of a large demand of carbon in relationship to its supply, and resulted in a relatively small and variable effect on ecosystem water consumption. 相似文献

This study reports the aboveground biomass response of a fire-regenerated Florida scrub-oak ecosystem exposed to elevated CO2 (1996–2007), from emergence after fire through canopy closure. Eleven years exposure to elevated CO2 caused a 67% increase in aboveground shoot biomass. Growth stimulation was sustained throughout the experiment; although there was significant variability between years. The absolute stimulation of aboveground biomass generally declined over time, reflecting increasing environmental limitations to long-term growth response. Extensive defoliation caused by hurricanes in September 2004 was followed by a strong increase in shoot density in 2005 that may have resulted from reopening the canopy and relocating nitrogen from leaves to the nutrient-poor soil. Biomass response to elevated CO2 was driven primarily by stimulation of growth of the dominant species, Quercus myrtifolia , while Quercus geminata , the other co-dominant oak, displayed no significant CO2 response. Aboveground growth also displayed interannual variation, which was correlated with total annual rainfall. The rainfall × CO2 interaction was partially masked at the community level by species-specific responses: elevated CO2 had an ameliorating effect on Q. myrtifolia growth under water stress. The results of this long-term study not only show that atmospheric CO2 concentration had a consistent stimulating effect on aboveground biomass production, but also showed that available water is the primary driver of interannual variation in shoot growth and that the long-term response to elevated CO2 may have been caused by other factors such as nutrient limitation and disturbance. 相似文献

The density dependence of plant responses to elevated CO2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
1 Stands of the annual Brassica kaber were grown at a range of six densities in both ambient and elevated CO2 environments, and measurements of shoot growth were made from seedling emergence through to reproduction.
2 Early in stand development (21 days following emergence), CO2 enhancement (β) for above-ground biomass was highly density-dependent, ranging from 1.41 at the lowest density (20 plants m−2) to 0.59 at the highest density (652 plants m−2).
3 As stands matured and total biomass exceeded a relatively low threshold level (<10.0 g m−2; c. 20% of final yield), the density-dependence of β disappeared. Above this shoot biomass threshold, β-values remained remarkably stable (β = 0.34) across a broad range of stand biomass, independent of a stand's initial density or age.
4 Average stand-level reproductive β-values at a final harvest were very similar to biomass values (β = 0.38) and, as with biomass values at later stages, showed no apparent density-dependence.
5 These results highlight the importance of considering density and the time-course of stand development simultaneously when assessing the potential for CO2 -induced growth enhancements in plants. 相似文献

1. Root competition can be an important determinant of the performance of neighbours within plant populations and communities. Because plants often maintain larger root systems and allocate more of their carbon to root systems under elevated atmospheric CO2 than they do at lower CO2 concentrations, root–root interactions could play an increasingly important role in determining competitive outcomes among individuals and plant species as global CO2 concentration continues to rise.
2. We established 12 pure stands of Linum usitatissimum (flax) and 12 mixed stands of Linum and its naturally co-occurring weed species Silene cretica in opaque plastic trays each filled with the same amount of nutrient-rich soil mix. In half of the trays from each of these stand types, vertical waterproof partitions separated the root systems of individual plants from each other to prevent root competition, while in the other half no partitions were present. Half of the trays from all treatments were allowed to grow under low atmospheric CO2 concentration (320μll–1 ) and the other half under elevated CO2 (600μll–1 ), in daylight growth chambers for 30 days from seedling emergence until harvest in mid-June. All trays received equal amounts of water so that soils in the low CO2 treatment were maintained at field capacity.
3. Our results indicate that under high soil fertilities: (1) intra-specific root–root interactions alone play a relatively insignificant role in determining plant biomass production within pure Linum populations and (2) the impact of an aggressive species ( Silene ) on co-occurring less aggressive species ( Linum ) becomes more severe under elevated CO2 as a result of amplified interspecific root competition. 相似文献

1. Experimental grassland communities (turves) were exposed to elevated (60 Pa) and ambient (35 Pa) CO2 partial pressures (pCO2 ) in a Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment (FACE) experiment between 30 March 1995 and 4 July 1996. The vegetation was cut once during the experiment prior to the final harvest (harvest 2).
2. No significant treatment effects on total plant biomass at the whole turf level were detected, although biomass was typically about 25% higher under fumigation in year 1 and about 15% higher in year 2.
3. Biomass for two of the six sown species was significantly higher at harvest 2 than at harvest 1. There were no significant differences between individual species' biomass under the two CO2 treatments at either harvest 1 or 2 or in terms of overall cumulative biomass. However, in four of the five sown species in both years biomass tended to be higher in the fumigated than in the control rings ( Cerastium holosteiodes, Phleum pratense, Plantago lanceolata and Poa trivialis ). In contrast, Lolium perenne showed increased biomass under the control treatment relative to the fumigated treatment in both years. Owing to the high variance both within and between rings for each of the two treatments the statistical power of most, but not all, of the analyses carried out was poor.
4. The relative proportions of each species in the turves under fumigated and control treatments was broadly similar after the first summer, with differences in the second year being mainly owing to the negative response of L. perenne to CO2 fumigation. 相似文献

1. We report changes in photosynthetic capacity of leaves developed in varying photon flux density (PFD), nitrogen supply and CO2 concentration. We determined the relative effect of these environmental factors on photosynthetic capacity per unit leaf volume as well as the volume of tissue per unit leaf area. We calculated resource-use efficiencies from the photosynthetic capacities and measurements of leaf dry mass, carbohydrates and nitrogen content.
2. There were clear differences between the mechanisms of photosynthetic acclimation to PFD, nitrogen supply and CO2 . PFD primarily affected volume of tissue per unit area whereas nitrogen supply primarily affected photosynthetic capacity per unit volume. CO2 concentration affected both of these parameters and interacted strongly with the PFD and nitrogen treatments.
3. Photosynthetic capacity per unit carbon invested in leaves increased in the low PFD, high nitrogen and low CO2 treatments. Photosynthetic capacity per unit nitrogen was significantly affected only by nitrogen supply.
4. The responses to low PFD and low nitrogen appear to function to increase the efficiency of utilization of the limiting resource. However, the responses to elevated CO2 in the high PFD and high nitrogen treatments suggest that high CO2 can result in a situation where growth is not limited by either carbon or nitrogen supply. Limitation of growth at elevated CO2 appears to result from internal plant factors that limit utilization of carbohydrates at sinks and/or transport of carbohydrates to sinks. 相似文献

Abstract: The concentration dependency of the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations on Arabidopsis thaliana L. was studied. Plants were exposed to nearly ambient (390), 560, 810, 1240 and 1680 μl I-1 CO2 during the vegetative growth phase for 8 days. Shoot biomass production and dry matter content were increased upon exposure to elevated CO2 . Maximal increase in shoot fresh and dry weight was obtained at 560 μl I-1 CU2 , which was due to a transient stimulation of the relative growth rate for up to 3 days. The shoot starch content increased with increasing CO2 concentrations up to two-fold at 1680 μl I-1 CO2 , whereas the contents of soluble sugars and phenolic compounds were hardly affected by elevated CO2 . The chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were not substantially affected at elevated CO2 and the chlorophyll a/b ratio remained unaltered. There was no acclimation of photosynthesis at elevated CO2 ; the photosynthetic capacity of leaves, which had completely developed at elevated CO2 was similar to that of leaves developed in ambient air. The possible consequences of an elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration to Arabidopsis thaliana in its natural habitat is discussed. 相似文献

The effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperature on carbon partitioning, source-sink relations and respiration 总被引:24,自引:8,他引:16
Abstract. Herbaceous C3 plants grown in elevated CO2 show increases in carbon assimilation and carbohydrate accumulation (particularly starch) within source leaves. Although changes in the partitioning of biomass between root and shoot occur, the proportion of this extra assimilate made available for sink growth is not known. Root:shoot ratios tend to increase for CO2 -enriched herbaceous plants and decrease for CO2 -enriched trees. Root:shoot ratios for cereals tend to remain constant. In contrast, elevated temperatures decrease carbohydrate accumulation within source and sink regions of a plant and decrease root:shoot ratios. Allometric analysis of at least two species showing changes in root: shoot ratios due to elevated CO2 show no alteration in the whole-plant partitioning of biomass. Little information is available for interactions between temperature and CO2 . Cold-adapted plants show little response to elevated levels of CO2 , with some species showing a decline in biomass accumulation. In general though, increasing temperature will increase sucrose synthesis, transport and utilization for CO2 -enriched plants and decrease carbohydrate accumulation within the leaf. Literature reports are discussed in relation to the hypothesis that sucrose is a major factor in the control of plant carbon partitioning. A model is presented in support. 相似文献

1. Four Lotus corniculatus genotypes differing in cyanoglycoside and condensed tannin concentrations were grown in either low (350 ppm) or high (700 ppm) atmospheric CO2 environments. Larval performance, consumption and conversion efficiency of Polyommatus icarus feeding on this plant material were measured.
2. Plants grown under elevated CO2 contained less cyanoglycosides, more condensed tannins and more starch than control plants. However, water concentration, nitrogen and protein as well as nitrogen concentration in relation to carbon concentration did not differ between CO2 treatments.
3. The four genotypes differed significantly in condensed tannins, cyanoglucoside, leaf water and leaf nitrogen but no genotype–CO2 interaction was detected, except for total phenolics and condensed tannins in which two plant genotypes showed stronger increases under elevated CO2 than the other two.
4. Larvae of P . icarus consumed more plant material and used and converted it more efficiently from plants grown at high atmospheric CO2 .
5. Larvae developed significantly faster and were significantly heavier when fed plant material grown under elevated CO2 . The observed difference in mass disappeared in the pupal and adult stages. However, lipid concentration of adults from the elevated CO2 treatment was marginally significantly higher than of controls.
6. It is concluded that the higher carbohydrate concentration of L . corniculatus plants grown at elevated CO2 renders leaves more suitable and better digestible to P . icarus . Furthermore, differences in allelochemicals might influence the palatability of L . corniculatus leaves for this specialist on Fabaceae. 相似文献

Elevated CO2 increases root growth and fine (diam. 2 mm) root growth across a range of species and experimental conditions. However, there is no clear evidence that elevated CO2 changes the proportion of C allocated to root biomass, measured as either the root:shoot ratio or the fine root:needle ratio. Elevated CO2 tends to increase mycorrhizal infection, colonization and the amount of extramatrical hyphae, supporting their key role in aiding the plant to more intensively exploit soil resources, providing a route for increased C sequestration. Only two studies have determined the effects of elevated CO2 on conifer fine-root life span, and there is no clear trend. Elevated CO2 increases the absolute fine-root turnover rates; however, the standing crop root biomass is also greater, and the effect of elevated CO2 on relative turnover rates (turnover:biomass) ranges from an increase to a decrease. At the ecosystem level these changes could lead to increased C storage in roots. Increased fine-root production coupled with increased absolute turnover rates could also lead to increases in soil organic C as greater amounts of fine roots die and decompose. Although CO2 can stimulate fine-root growth, it is not known if this stimulation persists over time. Modeling studies suggest that a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration initially increases biomass, but this stimulation declines with the response to elevated CO2 because increases in assimilation are not matched by increases in nutrient supply. 相似文献

Increased root exudation under elevated atmospheric CO2 and the contrasting environments in soil macro- and microaggregates could affect microbial growth strategies. We investigated the effect of elevated CO2 on the contribution of fast- ( r -strategists) and slow-growing ( K -strategists) microorganisms in soil macro- and microaggregates. We fractionated the bulk soil from the ambient and elevated (for 5 years) CO2 treatments of FACE-Hohenheim (Stuttgart) into large macro- (>2 mm), small macro- (0.25–2.00 mm), and microaggregates (<0.25 mm) using 'optimal moist' sieving. Microbial biomass (Cmic ), the maximum specific growth rate (μ), growing microbial biomass (GMB) and lag-period ( t lag ) were estimated by the kinetics of CO2 emission from bulk soil and aggregates amended with glucose and nutrients. Although Corg and Cmic were unaffected by elevated CO2 , μ values were significantly higher under elevated than ambient CO2 for bulk soil, small macroaggregates, and microaggregates. Substrate-induced respiratory response increased with decreasing aggregate size under both CO2 treatments. Based on changes in μ, GMB and lag period, we conclude that elevated atmospheric CO2 stimulated the r- selected microorganisms, especially in soil microaggregates. Such an increase in r -selected microorganisms indicates acceleration of available C mineralization in soil, which may counterbalance the additional C input by roots in soils in a future elevated atmospheric CO2 environment. 相似文献

The influence of the root holoparasitic angiosperm Orobanche minor Sm. on the biomass, photosynthesis, carbohydrate and nitrogen content of Trifolium repens L. was determined for plants grown at two CO2 concentrations (350 and 550 μmol mol−1 ). Infected plants accumulated less biomass than their uninfected counterparts, although early in the association there was a transient stimulation of growth. Infection also influenced biomass allocation both between tissues (infected plants had lower root:shoot ratios) and within tissues:infected roots were considerably thicker before the point of parasite attachment and thinner below. Higher concentrations of starch were also found in roots above the point of attachment, particularly for plants grown in elevated CO2 . Elevated CO2 stimulated the growth of T. repens only during the early stages of development. There was a significant interaction between infection and CO2 on growth, with infected plants showing a greater response, such that elevated CO2 partly alleviated the effects of the parasite on host growth. Elevated CO2 did not affect total O. minor biomass per host, the number of individual parasites supported by each host, or their time of attachment to the host root system. Photosynthesis was stimulated by elevated CO2 but was unaffected by O. minor . There was no evidence of down-regulation of photosynthesis in T. repens grown at elevated CO2 in either infected or uninfected plants. The data are discussed with regard to the influence of elevated CO2 on other parasitic angiosperm-host associations and factors which control plant responses to elevated CO2 . 相似文献

The influence of elevated CO2 on species phenology, growth and reproduction in a Mediterranean old-field community 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We studied the effects on the phenology, growth and reproduction of 19 Mediterranean species, of elevating the atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2 ]) to twice-ambient. Intact monoliths were taken from an old-field and put, during a six month growing season, into growth chambers in which external climatic conditions were mimicked and [CO2 ] was regulated. Fruit set time was significantly changed in six species under elevated [CO2 ] and leaf and branch senescence accelerated in most species. Grasses had fewer leaves and legumes were more branched at peak production under elevated [CO2 ] than under ambient. Plant seed number was not significantly changed under elevated [CO2 ], whereas the reproductive effort of grasses was significantly depressed. Reproductive and vegetative characteristics showed related responses to [CO2 ], as species with enhanced biomass had a hastened fruit set time, a higher number of fruits per plant and a higher reproductive biomass under elevated [CO2 ] than under ambient conditions, while species with depressed biomass had a delayed fruit set time, a lower number of fruits per plant and a lower reproductive biomass. Our results also show a high interspecific variability in [CO2 ] response, but some trends emerged at the family level: the production of vegetative and reproductive modules were depressed in grasses and slightly stimulated in legumes. 相似文献

Influences of soil volume and an elevated CO2 level on growth and CO2 exchange for the Crassulacean acid metabolism plant Opuntia ficus-indica 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Effects of the current (38 Pa) and an elevated (74 Pa) CO2 partial pressure on root and shoot areas, biomass accumulation and daily net CO2 exchange were determined for Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller, a highly productive Crassulacean acid metabolism species cultivated worldwide. Plants were grown in environmentally controlled rooms for 18 weeks in pots of three soil volumes (2 600, 6 500 and 26 000 cm3 ), the smallest of which was intended to restrict root growth. For plants in the medium-sized soil volume, basal cladodes tended to be thicker and areas of main and lateral roots tended to be greater as the CO2 level was doubled. Daughter cladodes tended to be initiated sooner at the current compared with the elevated CO2 level but total areas were similar by 10 weeks. At 10 weeks, daily net CO2 uptake for the three soil volumes averaged 24% higher for plants growing under elevated compared with current CO2 levels, but at 18 weeks only 3% enhancement in uptake occurred. Dry weight gain was enhanced 24% by elevated CO2 during the first 10 weeks but only 8% over 18 weeks. Increasing the soil volume 10-fold led to a greater stimulation of daily net CO2 uptake and biomass production than did doubling the CO2 level. At 18 weeks, root biomass doubled and shoot biomass nearly doubled as the soil volume was increased 10-fold; the effects of soil volume tended to be greater for elevated CO2 . The amount of cladode nitrogen per unit dry weight decreased as the CO2 level was raised and increased as soil volume increased, the latter suggesting that the effects of soil volume could be due to nitrogen limitations. 相似文献

1. Ten herbaceous species were grown over a 4-month period under ambient (360 μmol mol–1 ) and elevated (610 μmol mol–1 ) atmospheric CO2 conditions. Plants were inoculated with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae and given a phosphorus (P) supply which was not immediately available to the plants.
2. Multiple harvests were taken in order to determine whether the effect of elevated CO2 on mycorrhizal colonization and phosphorus inflow was independent of its effect on plant growth.
3. All species grew faster under elevated CO2 and carbon partitioning was altered, generally in favour of the shoots. All species responded similarly to elevated CO2 .
4. Elevated CO2 did not affect the percentage of root length colonized by AM fungi, but the total amount of colonized root length was increased, because the plants were bigger.
5. Elevated CO2 increased total P content, but had little or no effect on P concentration. At a given age, P inflow was stimulated by elevated CO2 , but when root length was taken into account the CO2 effect disappeared.
6. In these host species there is no evidence for a direct effect of elevated CO2 on mycorrhizal functioning, because both internal mycorrhizal colonization and P inflow are unaffected.
7. Future research should concentrate on the potential for carbon flow to the soil via the external mycelial network. 相似文献

Response of Mediterranean coralline algae to ocean acidification and elevated temperature 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effects of elevated partial pressure of CO2 ( p CO2 ) and temperature, alone and in combination, on survival, calcification and dissolution were investigated in the crustose coralline alga Lithophyllum cabiochae . Algae were maintained in aquaria during 1 year at near-ambient conditions of irradiance, at ambient or elevated temperature (+3 °C) and at ambient [ca. 400 parts per million (ppm)] or elevated p CO2 (ca. 700 ppm). Algal necroses appeared at the end of summer under elevated temperature first at 700 ppm (60% of the thallus surface) and then at 400 ppm (30%). The death of algae was observed only under elevated temperature and was two- to threefold higher under elevated p CO2 . During the first month of the experiment, net calcification was significantly reduced under elevated p CO2 . At the end of the summer period, net calcification decreased by 50% when both temperature and p CO2 were elevated while no effect was found under elevated temperature and elevated p CO2 alone. In autumn and winter, net calcification in healthy algae increased with increasing temperature, independently of the p CO2 level, while necroses and death in the algal population caused a net dissolution at elevated temperature and p CO2 . The dissolution of dead algal thalli was affected by elevated p CO2 , being two- to fourfold higher than under ambient p CO2 . These results suggest that net dissolution is likely to exceed net calcification in L. cabiochae by the end of this century. This could have major consequences in terms of biodiversity and biogeochemistry in coralligenous communities dominated by these algae. 相似文献

1. We tested the hypothesis that the net partitioning of dry mass and dry mass:area relationships is unaltered when plants are grown at elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
2. The total dry mass of Dactylis glomerata, Bellis perennis and Trifolium repens was higher for plants in 700 compared to 350 μmol CO2 mol–1 when grown hydroponically in controlled-environment cabinets.
3. Shoot:root ratios were higher and leaf area ratios and specific leaf areas lower in all species grown at elevated CO2 . Leaf mass ratio was higher in plants of B. perennis and D. glomerata grown at elevated CO2 .
4. Whilst these data suggest that CO2 alters the net partitioning of dry mass and dry mass:leaf area relationships, allometric comparisons of the components of dry mass and leaf area suggest at most a small effect of CO2 . CO2 changed only two of a total of 12 allometric coefficients we calculated for the three species: ν relating shoot to root dry mass was higher in D. glomerata , whilst ν relating leaf area to total dry mass was lower in T. repens .
5. CO2 alone has very little effect on partitioning when the size of the plant is taken into account. 相似文献

A poplar short rotation coppice (SRC) grown for the production of bioenergy can combine carbon (C) storage with fossil fuel substitution. Here, we summarize the responses of a poplar ( Populus ) plantation to 6 yr of free air CO2 enrichment (POP/EUROFACE consisting of two rotation cycles). We show that a poplar plantation growing in nonlimiting light, nutrient and water conditions will significantly increase its productivity in elevated CO2 concentrations ([CO2 ]). Increased biomass yield resulted from an early growth enhancement and photosynthesis did not acclimate to elevated [CO2 ]. Sufficient nutrient availability, increased nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and the large sink capacity of poplars contributed to the sustained increase in C uptake over 6 yr. Additional C taken up in high [CO2 ] was mainly invested into woody biomass pools. Coppicing increased yield by 66% and partly shifted the extra C uptake in elevated [CO2 ] to above-ground pools, as fine root biomass declined and its [CO2 ] stimulation disappeared. Mineral soil C increased equally in ambient and elevated [CO2 ] during the 6 yr experiment. However, elevated [CO2 ] increased the stabilization of C in the mineral soil. Increased productivity of a poplar SRC in elevated [CO2 ] may allow shorter rotation cycles, enhancing the viability of SRC for biofuel production. 相似文献

Abstract: A continuous dual 13 CO2 and 15 NH4 15 NO3 labelling experiment was undertaken to determine the effects of ambient (350μmol mol-1 ) or elevated (700μmol mol-1 ) atmospheric CO2 concentrations on C and N uptake and allocation within 3-year-old beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) during leafing. After six weeks of growth, total carbon uptake was increased by 63 % (calculated on total C content) under elevated CO2 but the carbon partitioning was not altered. 56 % of the new carbon was found in the leaves. On a dry weight basis was the content of structural biomass in leaves 10 % lower and the lignin content remained unaffected under elevated as compared to ambient [CO2 ]. Under ambient [CO2 ] 37 %, and under elevated [CO2 ] 51 %, of the lignin C of the leaves derived from new assimilates. For both treatments, internal N pools provided more than 90 % of the nitrogen used for leaf-growth and the partitioning of nitrogen was not altered under elevated [CO2 ]. The C/N ratio was unaffected by elevated [CO2 ] at the whole plant level, but the C/N ratio of the new C and N uptake was increased by 32 % under elevated [CO2 ]. 相似文献
