Elevated CO2 and root growth: contrasting responses in Fraxinus excelsior, Quercus petraea and Pinus sylvestris

Root growth and respiration in elevated CO2 (700 ?mol mol?1) was studied in three tree species, Fraxinus excelsior L., Quercus petraea. L. and Pinus sylvestris L. grown in open-top chambers (OTCs) during a long-term exposure (20 months), during which root systems were allowed to develop without rest...
