Canopy radiation‐ and water‐use efficiencies as affected by elevated [CO 2 ] - Dafeng Hui; Yiqi Luo; Weixin Cheng; J. S. Coleman; Dale W. Johnson; Daniel A. Sims (Global Change Biology, 2001)
Summary This study used an environmentally controlled plant growth facility, EcoCELLs, to measure canopy gas exchanges directly and to examine the effects of elevated [CO 2 ] on canopy radiation‐ and water‐use efficiencies. Sunflowers ( Helianthus annus var. Mammoth) were grown at ambient (399 μmol mol −1 ) and elevated [CO 2 ] (746 μmol mol −1 ) for 53 days in EcoCELLs. Whole canopy carbon‐ and water‐fluxes were measured continuously during the period of the experiment. The results indicated that elevated [CO 2 ] enhanced daily total canopy carbon‐ and water‐fluxes by 53% and 11%, respectively, on a ground‐area basis, resulting in a 54% increase in radiation‐use efficiency (RUE) based on intercepted photosynthetic active radiation and a 26% increase in water‐use efficiency (WUE) by the end of the experiment. Canopy carbon‐ and water‐fluxes at both CO 2 treatments varied with canopy development. They were small at 22 days after planting (DAP) and gradually increased to the maxima at 46 DAP. When canopy carbon‐ and water‐fluxes were expressed on a leaf‐area basis, no effect of CO 2 was found for canopy water‐flux while elevated [CO 2 ] still enhanced canopy carbon‐flux by 29%, on average. Night‐time canopy carbon‐flux was 32% higher at elevated than at ambient [CO 2 ]. In addition, RUE and WUE displayed strong diurnal variations, high at noon and low in the morning or afternoon for WUE but opposite for RUE. This study provided direct evidence that plant canopy may consume more, instead of less, water but utilize both water and radiation more efficiently at elevated than at ambient [CO 2 ], at least during the exponential growth period as illustrated in this experiment.

Photosynthesis, respiration, and net primary production of sunflower stands in ambient and elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentrations: an invariant NPP:GPP ratio? - Weixin Cheng; Daniel A. Sims; Yiqi Luo; James S. Coleman; Dale W. Johnson (Global Change Biology, 2000)
Summary The effect of elevated CO 2 on photosynthesis, respiration, and growth efficiency of sunflower plants at the whole‐stand level was investigated using a whole‐system gas exchange facility (the EcoCELLs at the Desert Research Institute) and a 13 C natural tracer method. Total daily photosynthesis (GPP), net primary production (NPP), and respiration under the elevated CO 2 treatment were consistently higher than under the ambient CO 2 treatment. The overall level of enhancement due to elevated CO 2 was consistent with published results for a typical C3 plant species. The patterns of daily GPP and NPP through time approximated logistic curves under both CO 2 treatments. Regression analysis indicated that both the rate of increase (the parameter ‘ r ’) and the maximum value (the parameter ‘ k ’) of daily GPP and NPP under the elevated CO 2 treatment were significantly higher than under the ambient CO 2 treatment. The percentage increase in daily GPP due to elevated CO 2 varied systematically through time according to the logistic equations used for the two treatments. The GPP increase due to elevated CO 2 ranged from approximately 10% initially to 73% at the peak, while declining to about 33%, as predicted by the ratio of the two maximum values. Different values of percentage increase in GPP and NPP were obtained at different sampling times. This result demonstrated that one‐time measurements of percentage increases due to elevated CO 2 could be misleading, thereby making interpretation difficult. Although rhizosphere respiration was substantially enhanced by elevated CO 2 , no effect of elevated CO 2 on R:P (respiration:photosynthesis) was found, suggesting an invariant NPP:GPP ratio during the entire experiment. Further validation of the notion of an invariant NPP:GPP ratio may significantly simplify the process of quantifying terrestrial carbon sequestration by directly relating total photosynthesis to net primary production.

Carbon budgeting in plant–soil mesocosms under elevated CO 2 : locally missing carbon? - Weixin Cheng; Daniel A. Sims; Yiqi Luo; Dale W. Johnson; J. Timothy Ball; James S. Coleman (Global Change Biology, 2000)
Summary Studies have suggested that more carbon is fixed due to a large increase in photosynthesis in plant–soil systems exposed to elevated CO 2 than could subsequently be found in plant biomass and soils –‐ the locally missing carbon phenomenon. To further understand this phenomenon, an experiment was carried out using EcoCELLs which are open‐flow, mass‐balance systems at the mesocosm scale. Naturally occurring 13 C tracers were also used to separately measure plant‐derived carbon and soil‐derived carbon. The experiment included two EcoCELLs, one under ambient atmospheric CO 2 and the other under elevated CO 2 (ambient plus 350 μL L − 1 ). By matching carbon fluxes with carbon pools, the issue of locally missing carbon was investigated. Flux‐based net primary production ( NPP f ) was similar to pool‐based primary production ( NPP p ) under ambient CO 2 , and the discrepancy between the two carbon budgets (12 g C m − 2 , or 4% of NPP f ) was less than measurement errors. Therefore, virtually all carbon entering the system under ambient CO 2 was accounted for at the end of the experiment. Under elevated CO 2 , however, the amount of NPP f was much higher than NPP p , resulting in missing carbon of approximately 80 g C m − 2 or 19% of NPP f which was much higher than measurement errors. This was additional to the 96% increase in rhizosphere respiration and the 50% increase in root growth, two important components of locally missing carbon. The mystery of locally missing carbon under elevated CO 2 remains to be further investigated. Volatile organic carbon, carbon loss due to root washing, and measurement errors are discussed as some of the potential contributing factors.
