Elevated CO2reduces the nitrogen concentration of plant tissues
Abstract
We summarize the impacts of elevated CO 2 on the N concentration of plant tissues and present data to support the hypothesis that reductions in the quality of plant tissue commonly occur when plants are grown under elevated CO 2. Synthesis of existing data showed an average 14% reduction of N concentrations in plant tissue generated under elevated CO 2 regimes. However, elevated CO 2 appeared to have different effects on the N concentrations of different plant types, as the reported reductions in N have been larger in C3 plants than in C4 plants and N 2‐fixers. Under elevated CO 2 plants changed their allocation of N between above‐ and below‐ground components: root N concentrations were reduced by an average of 9% compared to a 14% average reduction for above‐ground tissues. Although the concentration of CO 2 treatments represented a significant source of variance for plant N concentration, no consistent trends were observed between them.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
