This paper discusses the potential ways in which C3 plant performance may benefit from a
future high-CO2 environment. These include increases in the efficiencies for light, nitrogen …

Relative to C4 plants (such as sugarcane and maize) key C3 crop plants (such as wheat,
rice and barley, etc.) are known to suffer from photorespiratory losses due to the oxygenase …

The rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are likely to increase biomass production of C3
species in both natural and managed ecosystems because photosynthetic rates will be …

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 …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) enhances carbon uptake in C3 plants and
reduces stomatal conductance in C3 and C4 plants. Even though leaf N declines, RuBisCO …

Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) increases the instantaneous rate of
photosynthesis in C3 plants. With ample nutrients and water, this so-called 'CO2 fertilization …

Singh, J., Marillia, E.-F., Taylor, DC, Micallef, MC, Knowles, V., Plaxton, W., Barron, J …

Plant responses to the projected future levels of CO2 were first characterized in short-term
experiments lasting days to weeks. However, longer term acclimation responses to elevated …

The potential effects on plant performance of increases in [CO2] to levels predicted for later
in this century have been intensively studied and analyzed [1]. The controversial results …

Crops with the C4 photosynthetic pathway are vital to global food supply, particularly in the
tropical regions where human well-being and agricultural productivity are most closely …
