Mature oak forests retain the capacity of young forests to respond to elevated CO2

Mature oak forests retain the capacity of young forests to respond to elevated CO2

A free-air CO 2 enrichment experiment exposed a 180-year-old oak forest in central England to elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentrations for 7 years. Increases in wood production and net primary productivity were observed in response to this CO 2 enrichment, contrary to expectations that such response...

Zusammenfassung:A free-air CO 2 enrichment experiment exposed a 180-year-old oak forest in central England to elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentrations for 7 years. Increases in wood production and net primary productivity were observed in response to this CO 2 enrichment, contrary to expectations that such responses are limited to young tree plantations.
