Response of aboveground grassland biomass and soil moisture to moderate long-term CO2 enrichment
TLDR
The Giessen FACE (F ree A ir C arbon dioxide E nrichment) experiment started in a grassland ecosystem near Giessen, Germany, consisting of three enrichment (E plots) and three ambient control rings (A plots) as mentioned in this paper.About:

Elevated CO2 effects on plant carbon, nitrogen, and water relations: six important lessons from FACE
Andrew D. B. Leakey,Elizabeth A. Ainsworth,Elizabeth A. Ainsworth,Carl J. Bernacchi,Carl J. Bernacchi,Alistair Rogers,Alistair Rogers,Stephen P. Long,Donald R. Ort +8 more
TL;DR: Some of the lessons learned from the long-term investment in Free-Air CO(2) Enrichment experiments are described, where many of these lessons have been most clearly demonstrated in crop systems, and have important implications for natural systems.

TL;DR: A set of qualitative and quantitative questionnaires on perceived risks and foreseen impacts of climate and climate change on agriculture in Europe was distributed to agro-climatic and agronomy experts in 26 countries as mentioned in this paper.

Climate impacts on European agriculture and water management in the context of adaptation and mitigation—The importance of an integrated approach
Pete Falloon,Richard Betts +1 more
TL;DR: The importance of interactions and feedbacks in assessing climate change impacts on water and agriculture in Europe is reviewed and qualitatively assessed, particularly on the impact of future hydrological changes on agricultural greenhouse gas mitigation and adaptation options.

Faster Decomposition Under Increased Atmospheric CO2 Limits Soil Carbon Storage
Kees Jan van Groenigen,Kees Jan van Groenigen,Xuan Qi,Craig W. Osenberg,Yiqi Luo,Yiqi Luo,Bruce A. Hungate +6 more
TL;DR: The results of a meta-analysis and modeling show that increasing the concentration of atmospheric CO2 also stimulates microbial decomposition of organic carbon in soils, by roughly the same amount that it increases soil organic carbon, leading to lower equilibrium soil carbon inventories and limiting the accumulation of carbon.

Microbial community composition and rhizodeposit-carbon assimilation in differently managed temperate grassland soils
TL;DR: It is concluded that in situ 13C pulse-labeling of PLFAs is an effective tool to detect functional changes of those microbial communities that are dominantly involved in the immediate processing of new rhizosphere-C.

TL;DR: The recovery of a deep ice core from Dome C, Antarctica, that provides a climate record for the past 740,000 years is reported, suggesting that without human intervention, a climate similar to the present one would extend well into the future.

More Efficient Plants : a consequence of rising atmospheric CO2
TL;DR: The primary effect of plants response of plants to rising atmospheric CO2 (Ca) is to increase resource use efficiency, and at the same time it stimulates higher rates of photosynthesis and increases light-use efficiency as discussed by the authors.

The Response of Natural Ecosystems to the Rising Global CO2 Levels
TL;DR: Because CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its increase in the atmosphere may influence the earth's energy budget and influence world ecosystems by direct effects on plant growth and development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interspecific variation in the growth-response of plants to an elevated ambient co2 concentration
TL;DR: It is concluded that within the group of C3 species differences exist in the growth response to high CO2, and there was some tendency for herbaceous dicots to show a larger response than monocots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional responses of plants to elevated atmospheric CO2– do photosynthetic and productivity data from FACE experiments support early predictions?
TL;DR: The results from 16 free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) sites representing four different global vegetation types indicate that only some early predictions of the effects of increasing CO2 concentration (elevated [CO2]) on plant and ecosystem processes are well supported as mentioned in this paper.
