The photosynthetic basis for increasing the yield of major field crops is examined in terms of
improving the interception of seasonal solar radiation by crop foliage, the efficiency of …

Increase in the yield of crop plants can come from many quarters, such as better adaptation
to environmental conditions, greater resistance to pests and diseases, improved agronomic …

The effects of land use change on soil carbon stocks are of concern in the context of
international policy agendas on greenhouse gas emissions mitigation. This paper reviews the …

Plant respiratory regulation is too complex for a mechanistic representation in current
terrestrial productivity models for carbon accounting and global change research. Accordingly, …

The influence of elevated CO 2 concentration ([CO 2 ]) during plant growth on the carbon:nutrient
ratios of tissues depends in part on the time and space scales considered. Most …

The sensitivity of stomatal conductance to changes of CO 2 concentration and leaf-air vapor
pressure difference (VPD) was compared between two C 3 and two C 4 grass species. …

Accounting for CO 2 fluxes by determining changes in stocks of soil carbon (C) as a result of
land use change is an option for complying nations under the Kyoto Protocol. The 1996 …

Short‐ and long‐term effects of elevated CO 2 concentration and temperature on whole plant
respiratory relationships are examined for wheat grown at four constant temperatures and …

Recent conclusions that new free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) data show a much
lower crop yield response to elevated CO 2 than thought previously – casting serious doubts …

A published meta-analysis of worldwide data showed soil carbon decreasing following land
use change from pasture to conifer plantation. A paired site (a native pasture with Themeda …
