Experimental versus modelled water use in mature Norway spruce (Picea abies) exposed to elevated CO2

Rising levels of atmospheric CO2 have often been reported to reduce plant water use. Such behaviour is also predicted by standard equations relating photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and atmospheric CO2 concentration, which form the core of global dynamic vegetation models (DGVMs). Here, we prov...
