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 …

summary Because of their prominent role in the global carbon balance and their possible
carbon sequestration, trees are very important organisms in relation to global climatic …

1. The impact of sample preparation, rehydration procedure and time of collection on the
determination of specific leaf area (SLA, the ratio of leaf area to leaf dry mass) and leaf dry …

summary A survey of 100 species and 122 observations has shown an average reduction in
stomatal density of 14.3%(SE±2.2%) with CO2 enrichment, with 74% of the cases exhibiting …

The current increase in the atmospheric CO2 concentration poses upon us the challenge to
predict how the growth and functioning of plants will be affected. Given the wide variety of …

We investigated the possible effect of recent (1927–1995) increases in the concentration of
atmospheric CO2 on the stomatal densities of leaves of a wide range of tree, shrub, and …

This study aims at testing whether whole plant and aerial metamer traits of Rubia peregrina
L., a small clonal shrub, differed in magnitude of response to variations in light, nutrient or …

Abstract Effects of water availability on seedling growth were analysed in eight
Mediterranean species naturally occurring in the Balearic Islands. Seedlings were grown …

Grasslands are strongly exposed to multiple global changes, including elevated CO 2,
warming, and severe drought events. While the individual effects of these global change …

In tropical forests, the shade provided by tree canopies and extreme climate causes
inhibition of plant seedling growth due to the lack of light. However, the plants can acclimate …
