Other claims from this paper (8)

Intervention effect Elevated CO2 enhances Amazon forest growth in the simulations.
Intervention effect Elevated CO2 promotes competition among Amazon forest trees in the simulations.
Intervention effect Elevated CO2 increases natural self-thinning of Amazon forest stands in the simulations.
Observation The simulated forest growth gain outweighs the associated tree loss under elevated CO2.
Intervention effect Elevated CO2 increases background biomass density, making extra carbon loss possible during severe drought.
Mechanism Elevated CO2 may increase carbon losses during severe drought because more background biomass is available to lose.
Intervention effect Elevated CO2 accelerates simulated drought recovery in the Amazon forest.
Intervention effect Elevated CO2 enhances simulated drought resistance and resilience in the Amazon forest.

Katharina Luhmer; Hanna Blum; Thorsten Kraska; et al. Agronomy 2021. doi:10.3390/agronomy11050948

Other claims from this paper (11)

Observation Poppy yield ranged from 798.7 to 1293.1 kg ha−1.
Intervention effect White clover intercropping had no significant effect on poppy yield versus sole cropping.
Intervention effect White clover intercropping did not significantly change poppy dry matter, height or leaf area index.
Intervention effect White clover intercropping did not significantly change poppy C/N ratio.
Observation Poppy-barley intercrop yields were higher in 2018 and 2020 than 2019.
Observation The poppy-barley intercrop had higher land equivalent ratios in 2018 and 2020 than 2019.
Mechanism Differences in seeding dates, precipitation and nutrients chiefly explained year differences.
Intervention effect Barley seeding density had a small effect on intercrop performance.
Intervention effect Intercropping had a small effect on weed cover, number and biomass.
Recommendation The authors advise seeding poppy before barley to limit competition.
Recommendation The authors conclude poppy and white clover can be sown together.
