Effects of climate warming and declining species richness in grassland model ecosystems: acclimation of CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes

To study the effects of warming and declining species richness on the carbon balance of grassland communities, model ecosystems containing one, three or nine species were exposed to ambient and elevated (ambient +3&deg;C) air temperature. In this paper, we analyze measured ecosystem CO<sub>...
