Background: Changes in aboveground plant species diversity as well as variations of environmental conditions such as exposure of ecosystems to elevated concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide may lead to changes in metabolic activity, composition and diversity of belowground microbial...

Climate and atmospheric CO2 effects on the balance between C3 and C4 plants have received conflicting interpretations based on the analysis of carbon isotopic fractionation (d13C) in sediments. But, climate and CO2 effects on the C3/C4 balance and d13C signal are rarely addressed together. Here,...

Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. plants were grown in open-top chambers in northern Finland under CO2 enrichment (600�700 ppm) with or without elevated (double ambient) O3. Half of the plants received ammonium nitrate fertilizer equivalent to 200 kg N ha�1 year�1. Frost hardiness during the period...
