- Association Under elevated CO2, the bacterium benefited plant development, vegetative growth and C/N content.
- Intervention effect The bacterial strain combined with increased CO2 led to earlier plant seed production.
- Observation The shifted cost-benefit ratio disappeared later during plant growth.
- Observation Increased CO2 transiently shifted the cost-benefit balance in favor of the plant.
