“…The larger stimulation of total root length than biomass under elevated CO 2 alone and irrigation represents a more efficient strategy, with respect to plant C allocation, for increasing total root length. This is consistent with measurements of specific root length (SRL; root length per unit root mass) and root diameter from soil cores in 2010 and 2013, which showed that SRL was higher and diameter was lower in the irrigated treatments and elevated CO 2 treatments as compared to control plots (Carrillo et al., ; Nelson, Blumenthal, Williams, & Pendall, ), although only the CO 2 effects were significant.…”

“…Plants have a broad range of traits that vary in response to environmental cues [1,2], including atmospheric carbon. CO 2 -induced responses (i.e., guard cell regulation and stomatal conductance) have long been characterized [3,4], while subsurface responses, particularly those pertaining to roots, have become increasingly controversial [5][6][7][8]. Roots are conduits for carbon flux, as these extensive organs can modulate soil chemistry, structure, and microbes [9][10][11][12].…”

“…Studies have shown that eCO 2 plus warming can reduce leaf N concentration of wheat [7,8]. Most past studies that have investigated the interactive effects of eCO 2 and warming on tissue N concentration of species other than wheat found a non-significant effect on root N concentration [9][10][11][12][13][14], but a trend towards decreasing shoot or leaf N concentration [9,[15][16][17]. However, there are reports that show that eCO 2 plus warming can either increase or decrease root N concentration [11,13,17], while effects on the shoot or leaf N concentration can be positive [8,10] or neutral [10,12,18,19].…”

Collectively, these studies indicate that the response of plant N concentration to eCO 2 plus warming can be variable, likely due in part to differences in experimental protocols and plant species.…”
