Effect of elevated CO2 on growth and biomass production in Stylosanthes hamata.

摘要

A positive effect of elevated CO< sub>2 (600+or-50 ppm) on growth and biomass production in Stylosanthes hamata was observed. It resulted to significantly higher plant height, leaf length, leaf width, root length and fresh and dry biomass production. The biomass production increased to 82.77% (fresh) and 99.99% (dry) over the control (360 ppm).
