Carbon Dioxide Enrichment Effects on Photosynthesis and Plant Growth

  • Chapter

Abstract

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide directly stimulates photosynthesis and plant growth. However, other environmental variables affect the relation between CO2 concentration and photosynthesis and thus the links between carbon assimilation, growth and yield. Limitations to photosynthesis under short-term enrichment conditions are quite unlike those found in plants grown in high CO2 for a longer time. The effects of high CO2 concentrations on the rate of photosynthesis under both short-term and long-term enrichment conditions are discussed. Acclimation of photosynthesis, i.e., an increase or decrease in the rate under long-tenn CO2 enrichment is examined with emphasis on factors regulating photosynthesis at the metabolic level. Apart from stimulatory effect on photosynthesis, high CO2 concentrations affect plant growth and biomass partitioning. The role of elevated CO2 concentrations in enhancement of growth and yield are discussed. Finally, we discuss the interaction of high CO2 with environmental variables like temperature, water and nutrient in context of photosynthesis and growth in order to assess the present state of knowledge and to identify areas for future research.
