Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 enhanced upper-crown current-year P. taeda needle photosynthesis by 67%.
- Association P. taeda leaf-scale photosynthetic enhancement doubled from driest to wettest growing seasons.
- Association Current-year pine foliage photosynthesis was sensitive to temporal variation.
- Intervention effect Previous-year pine foliage had 30% photosynthetic enhancement, less than current-year foliage.
- Observation Overwintering upper-canopy pine needles had small but significant photosynthetic downregulation.
- Observation L. styraciflua showed no photosynthesis-leaf nitrogen adjustment.
- Intervention effect Understory deciduous trees had average 42% photosynthetic enhancement.
- Recommendation The authors suggest elevated CO2 could enhance mixed-species composition of pine stands.
