A meta-analysis of mycorrhizal responses to nitrogen, phosphorus, and atmospheric CO2 in field studies. (2004, background): “Enrichment of atmospheric CO2 typically augments photosynthesis (Bazzaz, 1990; Poorter, 1993) and increases nutrient limitation in plants (Oren et al.”
Plant CO2 responses: an issue of definition, time and resource supply. (2006, background): “…200 ppm increase or doubling of control levels of CO2 to remain below +50%, even under otherwise horticulturally optimized growth conditions, and the overall mean found in meta-analysis was around +30 % per season for such test systems (e.g. Acock & Allen 1985; Poorter, 1993; Curtis & Wang, 1998).”
Analyzing the significance of defoliation in growth, photosynthetic compensation and source-sink relations (2012, background): “Plant species with strong sinks or with the ability to increase sink size have been shown to be more responsive to elevated CO 2 (Poorter 1993).”
Effects of elevated CO2, nitrogen deposition, and decreased species diversity on foliar fungal plant disease (2003, background): “Thus, the typical increases in C 3 grass abundance under elevated CO 2 (Poorter, 1993; Wand et al., 1999; Reich et al., 2001b) may be constrained by pathogens.”
Assessing the vulnerability of food crop systems in Africa to climate change (2007, background): “A doubling of CO2, for example, increases the yield of many crops by about one third (Kimball 1983; Poorter 1993 ), primarily as a result of higher rates of photosynthesis in crops that have the C3 photosynthetic pathway (Bowes 1991).”
A Review of Elevated Atmospheric CO2 Effects on Plant Growth and Water Relations: Implications for Horticulture (2011, unknown): “However, as a result of differences in CO2 use during photosynthesis, plants with a C3 photosynthetic pathway often exhibit greater growth response relative to those with a C4 pathway (Amthor, 1995; Amthor and Loomis, 1996; Bowes, 1993; Poorter, 1993; Rogers et al., 1997).”
Water-use strategy of three central Asian desert shrubs and their responses to rain pulse events (2006, background): “Values of photosynthetic enhancement calculated on the basis of CO2-response curves are potentially large compared to equivalent values obtained on the basis of wholeplant biomass accumulation, as the source-sink relationship and size constraints on growth can cause the growth-stimulating effect to ”
Growth and yield stimulation under elevated CO2 and drought : A meta-analysis on crops (2016, background): “Hence, the effects of eCO2 and drought on biomass and yield might not be identical (Poorter, 1993).”
Biological invaders in a greenhouse world: will elevated CO2 fuel plant invasions? (2003, background): “The most common response is the “fertilization effect”, whereby the growth rates of individual plants increase by approximately 37% (Poorter 1993).”
Up-regulation of photosynthesis and sucrose metabolism enzymes in young expanding leaves of sugarcane under elevated growth CO2 (2006, background): “A positive growth response to elevated [CO2] has been reported for a number of C4 plants [7–9,11,13,15,34,35].”
African Grass Invasion in the Americas: Ecosystem Consequences and the Role of Ecophysiology (2000, background): “Although any increase in atmospheric CO 2 concentration will tend to affect C3 plants more than C 4 plants (Poorter 1993; Poorter et al. 1996), relationships between the C4 native and African grasses could also be altered.”
