Effects of elevated [CO2] and O3 on stomatal and surface wax characteristics in leaves of pubescent birch grown under field conditions

Abstract: The responses of pubescent birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) leaves to elevated levels of carbon dioxide and ozone were investigated. The micropropagated birch clones used in this research were divided into coastal (Kempele 64°N °25E) and inland (Ylikiiminki 65°N 26°E) clones according to the provenance of the parent tree. The seedlings were exposed to elevated levels of CO 2 and CO 2 +O 3 in open-top chambers over four growing seasons (1993)(1994)(1995)(1996). The leaves used in this investigation were gathered … Show more

“…The inland, slower-growing clone benefited from elevated CO 2 , whereas in the coastal, faster-growing clone, reductions in biomass accumulation (up to 72%) and other growth parameters were seen. However, the mean stomatal size of the coastal clone increased in CO 2 (Vanhatalo et al 2001). The changes in biomass growth were accompanied by decreased specific leaf area due to CO 2 + O 3 .…”

“…Prior et al (1997) também não observaram efeito do CO 2 sobre a quantidade de cera em Pinus palustris. Entretanto, a quantidade de cera foliar aumentou em Betula pubescens cultivada em ambiente enriquecido com CO 2 e CO 2 +O 3 (Vanhatalo et al, 2001). Quantidades maiores de cera foram observadas apenas em concentração de CO 2 acima de 750 µmol mol -1 , o que indica que, a concentrações menores do gás, a variação natural da cera epicuticular mascara os efeitos positivos do CO 2 (Paoletti et al,1998).…”
