Journal ArticleDOI
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.
TL;DR: The results from this review may provide the most plausible estimates of how plants in their native environments and field-grown crops will respond to rising atmospheric [CO(2)]; but even with FACE there are limitations, which are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide: plants FACE the future
TL;DR: Although trends agree with parallel summaries of enclosure studies, important quantitative differences emerge that have important implications both for predicting the future terrestrial biosphere and understanding how crops may need to be adapted to the changed and changing atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinhibition of Photosynthesis in Nature
TL;DR: The author reveals the secrets of the prolific phytoplankton-farming success story, as well as some of the techniques used to achieve this success in the past.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food for Thought: Lower-Than-Expected Crop Yield Stimulation with Rising CO2 Concentrations
Stephen P. Long,Elizabeth A. Ainsworth,Elizabeth A. Ainsworth,Andrew D. B. Leakey,Josef Nösberger,Donald R. Ort +5 more
TL;DR: Free-air concentration enrichment (FACE) technology has now facilitated large-scale trials of the major grain crops at elevated [CO2] under fully open-air field conditions, which casts serious doubt on projections that rising carbon dioxide concentration will fully offset losses due to climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving Photosynthetic Efficiency for Greater Yield
TL;DR: Inefficiencies in photosynthetic energy transduction in crops from light interception to carbohydrate synthesis, and how classical breeding, systems biology, and synthetic biology are providing new opportunities to develop more productive germplasm are examined to more than double the yield potential of major crops.
