Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 under FACE increased the weight of leaf, stem and pod compared with ambient CO2.
- Intervention effect Under FACE, above-ground biomass of two varieties was significantly increased by about 52.30% compared with ambient air.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 increased leaf area of Zhonghuang35.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 decreased leaf area of Zhonghuang13.
- Intervention effect Under FACE, specific leaf weight of two soybean cultivars increased at the filling pod stage.
- Intervention effect Under FACE, specific leaf weight of Zhonghuang35 was significantly increased by 23.08%.
- Intervention effect Under FACE, plant node number and branch number increased.
- Intervention effect Under elevated CO2, stem diameter of Zhonghuang35 significantly increased by 7.18% at harvest.
- Intervention effect Under elevated CO2, stem diameter of Zhonghuang13 significantly increased by 26.33% at harvest.
- Intervention effect Under FACE, pod number per plant and individual seed mass increased, which the paper links to higher yield.
- Intervention effect Under FACE, average soybean yield increased by 30.93%.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 did not significantly change the proportional allocation of leaf, stem and pod biomass to above-ground biomass over the growing season.
- Observation The effect of FACE on soybean differed significantly between the two cultivars.
- Association The authors state that the yield and biomass increases under elevated CO2 are consistent with SoyFACE studies but larger in magnitude.
