Generalised dose–response curves are essential to understand how plants acclimate to
atmospheric CO2. We carried out a meta‐analysis of 630 experiments in which C3 plants …

In global climate change, the most important ecological factors influencing agricultural
production and agro-ecosystem are elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration, enhanced air …

The mechanistic understanding of isotope fractionation processes is increasing but we still
lack detailed knowledge of the processes that determine the isotopic composition of the tree …

Convective removal of lower lithosphere beneath the Tibetan Plateau can account for a
rapid increase in the mean elevation of the Tibetan Plateau of 1000 m or more in a few …

▪ Abstract The primary effect of the response of plants to rising atmospheric CO2 (Ca) is to
increase resource use efficiency. Elevated Ca reduces stomatal conductance and …

The terrestrial biosphere plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. In the 1994
Intergovernmental Panel Assessment on Climate Change (IPCC), an effort was made to …

C 4 and CAM photosynthesis are evolutionarily derived from C 3 photosynthesis. The
morphological and biochemical modifications necessary to achieve either C 4 or CAM …

Although trees have responded to global warming in the past–to temperatures higher than
they are now–the rate of change predicted in the 21st century is likely to be unprecedented …

This revision maintains the position of Forest Ecosystems as the one source for the latest
