Effect of increasing CO2 on the terrestrial carbon cycle (2014, neutral): “Despite the theoretical (11, 13) and empirical (14) support for a CO2 effect, the magnitude and even existence of this effect is uncertain because of apparent conflict between the prediction of models and empirical findings from atmospheric analyses.”
Paleophysiology and End-Permian Mass Extinction (2007, background): “moderate increases in carbon dioxide should not impact negatively on the core physiology of vascular plants and might actually increase net primary production [70].”
Optimal Function Explains Forest Responses to Global Change (2009, result): “Moreover, all three models explain this response as being due primarily to increased LUE (i.e., GPP per unit of canopy light absorption), rather than to increased APAR, in agreement with the conclusions from FACE experiments (Norby et al. 2005, McCarthy et al. 2006).”
The likely impact of elevated [CO2], nitrogen deposition, increased temperature and management on carbon sequestration in temperate and boreal forest ecosystems: a literature review. (2007, background): “In closed-canopy stands, the increase in NPP can, however, result from both increase in leaf area and light absorption at low LAI, and increased lightuse efficiency at high LAI (Norby et al., 2005).”
Metagenomic reconstruction of nitrogen cycling pathways in a CO2-enriched grassland ecosystem (2017, background): “Stimulated plant photosynthesis and plant growth (both aboveground and belowground) (Luo et al., 2006b; Norby et al., 2005; Reich and Hobbie, 2013; Reich et al., 2001) provide more carbon (C) to the belowground microbial communities, and at the meanwhile demand more biologically available N in the…”
OCO-2 advances photosynthesis observation from space via solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (2017, background): “The continuing increase of atmospheric CO2 and its impact on climate are expected to affect photosynthesis in fundamental (1) but uncertain ways (2, 3).”
Integrating plant–soil interactions into global carbon cycle models (2009, background): “…nitrogen (N) enrichment (Magnani et al. 2007; Galloway et al. 2008), sulphur deposition (Monteith et al. 2007), CO2 fertilization (Woodward 2002; Norby et al. 2005) and changes in atmospheric ozone concentration (Sitch et al. 2007) are having a significant effect on ecosystem functioning…”
A model of biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus including symbiotic nitrogen fixation and phosphatase production (2007, result): “[17] Olander and Vitousek [2005] showed that the time constant for reaching equilibrium between the labile inorganic P (Pb) and sorbed inorganic P (Ps) in soil is about less than one hour, a much shorter timescale than we shall apply in our model.”
Plant CO2 responses: an issue of definition, time and resource supply. (2006, background): “…trees (two steady state, two rapidly expanding) arrived at ca. 20% increase in productivity (NPP), but there is no difference in above ground standing crop biomass in the Oak Ridge FACE compared to controls (Norby et al., 2004, 2005) and the other three differ widely in actual biomass increment.”
Robustness and uncertainty in terrestrial ecosystem carbon response to CMIP5 climate change projections (2012, background): “Experimental (Norby et al 2005) and modelling studies (Cramer et al 2001, Hickler et al 2008) generally suggest that rising [CO2] will enhance NPP and ecosystem carbon storage, although the size and persistency of this effect is still 11748-9326/12/044008+09$33.00 c© 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd Printed…”
Assessment of 10 years of CO2 fumigation on soil microbial communities and function in a sweetgum plantation (2009, background): “Vegetation assimilates increasing amounts of C as atmospheric [CO2] increases (e.g., Norby et al., 2005), which may result in a flux of labile C to soils.”
Detection and attribution of vegetation greening trend in China over the last 30 years (2015, methodology): “This CO2 fertilization effect has been demonstrated by FreeAir Carbon dioxide Enrichment (FACE) experiments that show that vegetation productivity is significantly increased in response to rising ambient CO2 concentration (Norby et al., 2005).”
CTFS‐ForestGEO: a worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change (2015, background): “Notably lacking is evidence of consistent increases in ANPP, as might be expected based solely on increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration (e.g., Norby et al., 2005).”
