Typologies of crop-drought vulnerability: an empirical analysis of the socio-economic factors that influence the sensitivity and resilience to drought of three major food crops in China (1961–2001) (2009, background): “In the long-term consequences are more tentative and may be negative (Long et al., 2004).”
What have we learned from 15 years of free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE)? A meta-analytic review of the responses of photosynthesis, canopy properties and plant production to rising CO2. (2004, methodology): “…however, re-evaluation of the methods used to measure dark respiration under elevated [CO2] suggests that this apparent effect was an artifact of earlier measurement systems, and is absent when these artifacts are eliminated (Amthor, 2000; Jahnke, 2001; Davey et al., 2004; Long et al., 2004).”
Dynamic global vegetation modelling: quantifying terrestrial ecosystem responses to large-scale environmental change (2007, background): “The Free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) methodology was introduced so that experiments on the effects of raised CO2 concentrations could be conducted on intact ecosystems (Hendry et al. 1999; Nowak et al. 2004; Long et al. 2004).”
Recent Advances in Photosynthesis Under Drought and Salinity (2011, background): “The most frequently reported biochemical mechanisms involved in drought-related downregulation of photosynthesis are: limitations of phosphorylation (Lawlor and Tezara, 2009; Tezara et al., 1999), RuBP regeneration (Medrano et al., 2002) and Rubisco carboxylation (Parry et al., 2002; Zhou et al., 20”
Implications of climate change for agricultural productivity in the early twenty-first century (2010, background): “Theoretical estimates suggest that increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations to 550 ppm, could increase photosynthesis in such C3 crops by nearly 40 per cent (Long et al. 2004).”
Can improvement in photosynthesis increase crop yields? (2006, background): “From kinetic data, it may be calculated that as a result, J max /V c,max would need to increase by 30% to maintain an optimal distribution of resources (Long et al. 2004 ).”
Elevated CO2 stimulates net accumulations of carbon and nitrogen in land ecosystems: a meta-analysis. (2006, background): “Cases have been reported on either complete, partial, or no down-regulation of CO2 stimulation of photosynthesis, plant growth, or other C processes (Long et al. 2004, Nowak et al. 2004).”
Preserving the nutritional quality of crop plants under a changing climate: importance and strategies (2019, background): “The putative positive effect in agriculture is in fact denoted to as the “CO2 fertilization effect” (Ainsworth and Long 2005; Bowes 1993; Bunce 2015; Dietterich et al. 2015; Högy and Fangmeier 2008; Loladze 2014; Long et al. 2004; Myers et al. 2017; Ziska and Bunce 2007).”
Impact of elevated carbon dioxide on the rhizosphere communities of Carex arenaria and Festuca rubra (2007, background): “Elevated atmospheric CO2 levels have generally been observed to result in higher rates of photosynthesis (Ainsworth & Long, 2005), particularly in C3 plants (Long et al., 2004).”
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON GLOBAL SEAWEED COMMUNITIES (2012, background): “Just as terrestrial C3 plants are more likely to be CO2-limited and therefore more likely to benefit from elevated CO2 than C4 plants (Long et al. 2004), seaweeds lacking CCMs are more likely to be carbon-limited and thus more likely to benefit from additional CO2(aq).”
Impacts of global change on diseases of agricultural crops and forest trees (2008, background): “However, most field studies on the effects of elevated CO2 have been done in open-top chambers (OTCs) [42], and OTCs have long been known to modify the environment by altering light intensity, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and other environmental factors.”
