Increasing CO(2): Comparative responses of the C(4) grass Schizachyrium and grassland invader Prosopis

A study was conducted to determine the effects of historical and prehistorical increases in carbon dioxide concentrations on growth, resource use and competitive interactions of species of grasslands and the legume Prosopis glandulosa. The effect of carbon dioxide on P. glandulosa was dependent on c...

Description
Summary:A study was conducted to determine the effects of historical and prehistorical increases in carbon dioxide concentrations on growth, resource use and competitive interactions of species of grasslands and the legume Prosopis glandulosa. The effect of carbon dioxide on P. glandulosa was dependent on competition with grasses.
