• Elevated CO2 effects on plant carbon, nitrogen, and water relations: six important lessons from FACE. (2009, background): “Plants growing with a low N supply typically accumulate more foliar carbohydrates and exhibit greater Rubisco acclimation than those grown at high N supply (Ainsworth et al., 2003; Ainsworth and Long, 2005).”
• 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, background): “Even under low N-fertilization input typical of low-intensity grassland management, L. perenne showed an approximately 40% increase in Asat on average over the 10 yr experiment (Ainsworth et al., 2003).”
• Uses and misuses of meta‐analysis in plant ecology (2014, background): “For instance, Ainsworth et al. (2003) conducted a meta-analysis of the results of the Swiss FACE experiment in which perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) was grown for 10 years under ambient and increased CO2 levels and two contrasting N levels.”
• Seventeen years of elevated CO2 exposure in a Chesapeake Bay Wetland: sustained but contrasting responses of plant growth and CO2 uptake (2005, background): “…recent results from long-term studies suggest that the stimulation of plant photosynthesis and growth is sustained with time, especially in nutrient-rich systems (Idso & Kimball, 2001; Ainsworth et al., 2003a, b; Temperton et al., 2003) but also in other native ecosystems (Ainsworth et al., 2002).”
