- Intervention effect Lantana growth responded more strongly to elevated CO2 than vinca growth.
- Intervention effect Lantana root dry weight increased by 31%.
- Intervention effect Lantana total plant dry weight increased by 19%.
- Intervention effect Vinca root dry weight increased by 9%.
- Intervention effect Vinca total plant dry weight increased by 9%.
- Intervention effect Lantana root length increased by 46% under elevated CO2.
- Intervention effect Vinca root length was unaffected by CO2.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 had no effect on Lantana flower dry weight.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 had no effect on vinca flower dry weight.
- Observation Rising CO2 was interpreted to have little impact on vinca as an ornamental or invasive weed.
- Observation Elevated CO2 may increase Lantana ornamental value through abundant growth.
- Observation Traits favored by high CO2 could enhance Lantana invasive potential in the southeastern US.
