Research Abstract

We used 3 sets of Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) ring of ambient (about 390 ppm) and elevated CO2 (500 ppm predicted in 2040 by IPCC), respectively. We planted 3 kinds of birch, 3 kinds of larches (Larix gmelinii x kaempfrei; its parents), oak (Quercus mongolica var. crispula) and beech (Fagus crenata). We fumigated CO2 on these species for 4 years during growing season and monitored leaf area index (LAI: leaf area per ground area: m2/m2) of 3 kinds of birch (Betula ermanii, B. maximowicziana, B. platyphylla var. japonica) stands. There was photosynthetic down-regulation in all species. Increase of LAI and stem mass of 3 birch stands had been increased until canopy closure. Increase pattern of LAI was different among species, which may bring different stand structure in the future elevated CO2 world..
