A number of recent studies have provided strong support demonstrating that improving the
photosynthetic processes through genetic engineering can provide an avenue to improve …

The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are strongly coupled. As atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentration increases, climate and the coupled hydrologic cycle are modified, thus …

The capability of terrestrial ecosystems to sequester carbon (C) plays a critical role in
regulating future climatic change yet depends on nitrogen (N) availability. To predict long …

We estimate the global bioenergy potential from dedicated biomass plantations in the 21st
century under a range of sustainability requirements to safeguard food production …

Climate change predictions derived from coupled carbon-climate models are highly
dependent on assumptions about feedbacks between the biosphere and atmosphere. One …

Limited information on likely supply and spatial yield of bioenergy crops exists for the UK.
Here, productivities are reported of poplar (Populus spp.) and willow (Salix spp.) grown as …

Forest ecosystems are important sinks for rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2. In
previous research, we showed that net primary production (NPP) increased by 23±2% when …

The potential for elevated [CO2]‐induced changes to plant carbon (C) storage, through
modifications in plant production and allocation of C among plant pools, is an important …

Results from free‐air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments in temperate climates indicate
that the response of forest net primary productivity (NPP) to elevated CO2 might be highly …

Global changes such as variations in plant net primary production are likely to drive shifts in
leaf litterfall inputs to forest soils, but the effects of such changes on soil carbon (C) cycling …
