Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 increased single-leaf net assimilation through most of the season in both fertility treatments.
- Intervention effect At high fertility, elevated CO2 increased maximum individual leaf size.
- Intervention effect At high fertility, elevated CO2 increased total leaf number.
- Intervention effect At high fertility, elevated CO2 increased seasonal leaf area duration.
- Intervention effect At high fertility, elevated CO2 increased total dry weight by 49%.
- Intervention effect At low fertility, leaf area growth was unaffected by CO2 treatment.
- Intervention effect At low fertility, CO2 increased total dry weight by 25%.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 reduced photosynthetic capacity after 100 days at low fertility.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 reduced photosynthetic capacity after 135 days at high fertility.
- Mechanism The authors attribute photosynthetic downregulation to reduced maximum Rubisco CO2 fixation.
- Intervention effect Maximum electron transport was unaffected or declined under elevated CO2.
- Intervention effect Phosphate regeneration capacity was unaffected or declined under elevated CO2.
- Intervention effect At high fertility, elevated CO2 increased mid-season leaf respiration.
- Intervention effect At high fertility, late-season leaf respiration per mass declined under elevated CO2.
- Association Temporal respiration variation correlated with leaf nitrogen and leaf mass per area.
