Tropospheric concentrations of phytotoxic ozone (O3) have undergone a great increase
from preindustrial 10–15 ppbv to a present-day concentration of 35–40 ppbv in large parts of …

Enhanced CO2 assimilation by forests as atmospheric CO2 concentration rises could slow
the rate of CO2 increase if the assimilated carbon is allocated to long-lived biomass …

Chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) information offers a deep insight into the plant physiological
status by reason of the close relationship it has with the photosynthetic activity. The …

Enhanced growth of trees under elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration ('CO 2
fertilisation') can potentially reduce a fraction of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions but is …

Newly-planted forests require careful management to ensure the successful establishment
of young trees; this can include herbicide application, irrigation, fertilization, or a …

Current carbon cycle models attribute rising atmospheric CO2 as the major driver of the
increased terrestrial carbon sink, but with substantial uncertainties. The photosynthetic …

Background The manual study of root dynamics using images requires huge investments of
time and resources and is prone to previously poorly quantified annotator bias. Artificial …

Elevated CO2 (eCO2) is a determinant factor of climate change and is known to alter plant
processes such as physiology, growth and resistance to pathogens. Quercus robur, a tree …

Insect herbivory is one of the most important ecological processes affecting plant–soil
feedbacks and overall forest ecosystem health. In this study, we assess how elevated …

Introduction Insect herbivores and biotrophic pathogens are major stressors influencing
natural regeneration in woodlands. Information on the effect of elevated CO2 (eCO2) on …
