Context Improving the photosynthetic capacity of crops is key to achieving synergism
between high crop yield and nitrogen (N) efficiency, and it is also an important target for …

Increasing evidence indicates that plant productivity is constrained by water and nutrient
availability under natural conditions of the stimulatory effects of elevated CO 2 concentration …

Widespread global greening driven by CO 2 fertilization implies a denser canopy structure,
and more leaves could be used to collect light from the atmosphere for plant photosynthesis …

Background Grass-legume mixture can effectively improve productivity and stimulate
overyielding in artificial grasslands, but may be N-limited in semi-arid regions. This study …

Forests play a crucial role in mitigating global warming, contributing approximately 46% of
the global terrestrial carbon sink. However, it remains uncertain whether the addition of …

Ecosystems that experience elevated CO2 (eCO2) are crucial interfaces where intricate
interactions between plants and microbes occur. This study addressed the impact of eCO2 …

Terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP), which refers to the photosynthetic uptake of CO
2 by leaves, increases with incident irradiance and plateaus when leaves become light …

While numerous studies have explored the impacts of elevated atmospheric CO 2
concentration (e [CO 2]) on leaf traits in plants within a single life cycle, the effects of …

Elymus sibiricus plays a crucial role in ecological protection and animal husbandry.
However, after many years of growth, the biomass of E. sibiricus decreases, and the plants …

Plants respond to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations by reducing leaf nitrogen
content and photosynthetic capacity–patterns that correspond with increased net …
