Research Abstract

44 ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana were grown at two CO2 levels. We found that there was a large variation in CO2 response of growth rates among the ecotypes. The variation in photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency was the main cause of the variation in the growth rates. 5 pairs of deciduous and evergreen woody species were grown at two CO2 levels. We found that CO2 responses of growth and photosynthesis were not significantly different among deciduous and evergreen plants. We studied leaf and nitrogen dynamics in rice canopy grown under the field CO2 enrichment experiment. We found that nitrogen availability significantly affected leaf and nitrogen dynamics whereas elevated CO2 did not. We constructed a new model of leaf dynamics in a leaf canopy introducing a game theory. The model successfully predicted environmental response of canopy structure, including CO2 responses.
