Edwards et al. (2005)

Well-watered plants (initially equal in plantlet size, number and distribution) grown for 15 months in sand in large plastic containers in two greenhouses maintained at different atmospheric CO2 concentrations under sand nutrient conditions of zero N/low P, during which time 10 separate harvests were made of all plant biomass above a height of 5 cm above the sand surface; whole plant all harvests
9%

Well-watered plants (initially equal in plantlet size, number and distribution) grown for 15 months in sand in large plastic containers in two greenhouses maintained at different atmospheric CO2 concentrations under sand nutrient conditions of zero N/high P, during which time 10 separate harvests were made of all plant biomass above a height of 5 cm above the sand surface; whole plant all harvests

Well-watered plants (initially equal in plantlet size, number and distribution) grown for 15 months in sand in large plastic containers in two greenhouses maintained at different atmospheric CO2 concentrations under sand nutrient conditions of plus N/high P, during which time 10 separate harvests were made of all plant biomass above a height of 5 cm above the sand surface; whole plant all harvests
