Nitrogen is considered the most important element in plant nutrition and growth. However its
role and availability for boreal forest conifers is still debated. Boreal conifers have adapted …

Global terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration has increased over the last few decades. The
drivers of carbon sequestration, the geographical spread and magnitude of this sink are …

Invasive species are expected to cluster on the “high-return” end of the leaf economic
spectrum, displaying leaf traits consistent with higher carbon assimilation relative to native …

Mesophyll conductance (gm) can markedly limit photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and is
required to estimate the parameters of the Farquhar–von Caemmerer–Berry (FvCB) model …

To understand how different plant functional types respond to light intensities, foliar carbon
isotope discrimination (Δ 13 C) and related traits, ie, specific leaf area (SLA), mass-and area …

Background and Aims Leaf longevity is an important plant functional trait that often varies
with soil nitrogen supply. Ethylene is a classical plant hormone involved in the control of …

White birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.) seedlings were exposed to ambient or doubled
ambient carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), three soil temperatures (Tsoil)(low …

Sequestering atmospheric carbon and storing it in the terrestrial biosphere is one of the
option that has been proposed to compensate greenhouse gas emissions. Young fast …

Plant physiology is affected by climate change. Acclimations of photosynthetic processes are
induced by short-term changes in climatic conditions. Further acclimation can be caused by …

The present study dissects out the CO 2 fertilization effects on photosynthetic gas exchange
characteristics, key responses of photosynthetic and carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes …
