Carbon and oxygen isotope analysis of leaf biomass reveals contrasting photosynthetic responses to elevated CO<sub>2</sub> near geologic vents in Yellowstone National Park

In this study we explore the use of natural CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) in Wyoming, USA to study responses of natural vegetation to elevated CO<sub>2</sub> levels. Radiocarbon (<sup>14</sup>C) analysis of leaf biomass from a conifer...
