Growth and senescence in plant communities exposed to elevated CO2 concentrations on an estuarine marsh

Three high marsh communities on the Chesapeake Bay were exposed to a doubling in ambient CO₂ concentration for one growing season. Open-top chambers were used to raise CO₂ concentrations ca. 340 ppm above ambient over monospecific communities of Scirpus olneyi (C₃) and Spartina patens (C₄), and a mi...
