Climate change will include correlated increases in temperature and atmospheric CO2
concentration (Ca). Rising temperatures will increase the ratio of photorespiratory loss of …

The atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased from the pre‐industrial concentration of
about 280 μmol mol− 1 to its present concentration of over 350 μmol mol− 1, and continues …

The global environment is changing with increasing temperature and atmospheric carbon
dioxide concentration,[CO2]. Because these two factors are concomitant, and the global …

In the first part of this review, I discuss how we can predict the direct short‐term effect of
enhanced CO2 on photosynthetic rate in C3 terrestrial plants. To do this, I consider:(1) to …

While photosynthesis of C3 plants is stimulated by an increase in the atmospheric CO2
concentration, photosynthetic capacity is often reduced after long‐term exposure to elevated …

This paper presents a detailed analysis of several hundred plant carbon exchange rate
(CER) and dry weight (DW) responses to atmospheric CO 2 enrichment determined over the …

The nature of photosynthetic acclimation to elevated CO 2 is evaluated from the results of
over 40 studies focusing on the effect of long-term CO 2 enrichment on the short-term …

The increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentration probably will have significant direct effects
on vegetation whether predicted changes in climate occur or not. Averaging over many prior …

Plants grown at elevated pCO2 often fail to sustain the initial stimulation of net CO2 uptake
rate (A). This reduced, acclimated, stimulation of A often occurs concomitantly with a …
