Abstract

The results of the effect of long-term treatments with high CO2 on plant growth are very variable. They depend on the CO., pathway (C3 or C4 plants), on the species, the age, the duration or the CO2fertilization, and probably on the growth pattern (indeterminate plants seem to be more stimulated than determinate ones).
