We
examined the photosynthetic and growth traits of two woody species (birch) that
are dominant in northern Japan
under elevated CO2 concentration ([CO2]), using a free
air CO2 enrichment (FACE) system. Our results suggest that it is necessary to consider not only leaf-level
photosynthesis but also the entire plant physiology when using photosynthesis
to evaluate the growth response of two birch saplings under elevated [CO2].
