Responses of wild C4 and C3 grass (Poaceae) species to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration: a meta‐analytic test of current theories and perceptions
TL;DR: The relative responses of the C4 and C3 photosynthetic types to elevated CO2 concur only to some extent with expectations based on photosynthesis theory, and the significant positive responses of C4 grass species at both the leaf and the whole plant level demand a re-evaluation of the assumption of low responsiveness in C4 plants at both levels.

A proposed CO2‐controlled mechanism of woody plant invasion in grasslands and savannas
William J. Bond,Guy F. Midgley +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that elevated CO2 will tend to favour regrowth of juvenile trees trapped (sometimes for decades) in the ‘topkill’ zone, thus allowing them to escape more readily from periodic fires as CO2 continues to rise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change‐integrated conservation strategies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a Climate Change-integrated Conservation Strategies (CCS) approach to respond to the conservation challenges posed by climate change, where biogeographers, ecologists and conservation managers can collaborate to address this need.
