An investigation of the effects of increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 and changing climate on natural and managed grassland communities in Europe using open-top and closed chambers

Objective

To estimate the future impact of "greenhouse effect" on European vegetation, both managed and natural; to investigate the interactions of the "greenhouse effect" with water stress, nutrient availability and plant competition.


- Determination of the sensitivity of plant growth to the combined effects of changes in CO2 concentrations and climate variables.
- Development of a crop-weather simulation model incorporating bith direct and indirect effects of elevated CO2 levels on grassland species.
A series of experiments will be performed at six different locations in Europe to investigate the growth and physiological response of grasses and legumes grown at ambient and elevetad CO2 concentrations.
Some of the experiments will be using open-top field chambers and two will use closed chambers.
