Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Shifts in flowering time in response to climate change can alter both the timing and amount of carbon that is cycling within ecosystems. Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) has increased from 270…

Delineating the Roles of Rising CO2 and Temperature on Flowering Time and Plant Carbon Gain across Pre-Industrial Through Future Conditions

Joy Ward

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Since the Industrial Revolution began (200 years ago), atmospheric [CO2] has increased from 270 to 390 ppm (44% increase), and average global temperatures have risen by 0.76 degrees C. In the future,…
