...A meta-analysis of SoyFACE results indicates an average 16% increase in Asat across a variety of soybean cultivars, which is substantially smaller than suggested by chamber studies (Fig....

...Maize grown at SoyFACE in a rain-fed experiment allowed comparison between an ‘average’ year (2002) that included periods of drought stress versus an ‘atypical’ year (2004) in which the crop experienced no drought stress across the entire season (Leakey et al., 2006)....

...The mechanism of soybean respiratory responses to growth at elevated [CO2] has been investigated in two studies that combined molecular, biochemical, and physiological analyses of plants at the SoyFACE experiment in which the findings were consistent with the hypotheses of Williams and Farrar (1990)....

...With very few exceptions, decreased stomatal conductance (gs) is one of the most consistent and conserved responses of leaves to growth at elevated [CO2] (Curtis, 1996; Lee et al., 2001; Medlyn et al., 2001; Zheng and Peng, 2001; Ainsworth et al., 2002; Long et al., 2004; Ainsworth and Long, 2005)....

...Soybean represents a large amount of the land cover in the Midwest Corn Belt, and, therefore, any decrease in ET compensated by increased Tc and H is likely to have a more profound influence on atmospheric conditions (e.g. Sellers et al., 1997)....

...Most of this ecosystem is rain fed, and, since it is located in a continental interior, any direct effect of rising concentration of CO2 [CO2] on its transpiration could have a large impact on the regional climate (Sellers et al., 1997)....

...However, all of these experiments concerned irrigated or flooded systems in which the potential feedback from vegetation to the climate would be expected to be low compared to rain-fed areas in continental interiors (Sellers et al., 1997), such as the Midwestern United States....
