Elevated CO₂ Response
Overview
Elevated CO₂ alters photosynthesis, water-use efficiency, leaf morphology, and biomass partitioning. Phenotyping under controlled CO₂ enrichment quantifies these physiological adjustments across genotypes and environments.
1. Screening genotypes for CO₂ responsiveness
2. Studying interactions between CO₂ and temperature/nutrient stresses
3. Modeling future climate scenarios in controlled systems
4. Assessing reproductive response to elevated CO₂
5. Comparing early vegetative vs. late-season CO₂ effects
