Abstract
Tropospheric O 3 can cause foliar injury, decreased growth, and decreased yield, whereas CO 2 enrichment generally causes opposite effects. Little is known about plant response to mixtures of O 3 and CO 2 . Open‐top field chambers were used to determine if foliar responses of soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] to CO 2 enrichment are affected by O 3 stress and vice versa. Plants were grown in 14‐L pots and exposed to four CO 2 and three O 3 concentrations in 12 combinations. The CO 2 treatments were ambient (366 μL − ) and three treatments with CO 2 added for 24 h d 1 at approximately 1.3, 1.6, and 2.0 times ambient. The O 3 treatments were charcoal‐filtered air (CF), nonfiltered air (NF), and NF with O 3 added for 12 h −1 ( NF+), resulting in seasonal concentrations of approximately 20, 46, and 75 nL L −1 . Foliar effects of CO 2 enrichment were dependent on the amount of stress caused by O 3 . In the CF treatment, plants were not stressed by O 3 , and CO 2 enrichment caused chlorosis and decreased chlorophyll. In the NF and NF+ treatments, plants were stressed by 03, and CO 2 enrichment suppressed chlorosis and increased chlorophyll. Ozone decreased specific leaf weight, increased foliar N and C, and decreased C/N ratios, whereas CO 2 caused opposite responses for these measures. Ozone increased foliar S and B but did not affect P or K concentrations. Conversely, CO 2 enrichment suppressed foliar S, B, P, and K concentrations. These interactions between O 3 and CO 2 emphasize a need to consider the amount of plant stress caused by O 3 in studies to measure effects of CO 2 enrichment.
