Declining tree growth rates despite increasing water-use efficiency under elevated CO2 reveals a possible global overestimation of CO2 fertilization effect

Declining tree growth rates despite increasing water-use efficiency under elevated CO2 reveals a possible global overestimation of CO2 fertilization effect

Though rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Ca) harm the environment and society, they may also raise photosynthetic rates and enhance intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE). Numerous short-term studies have investigated tree growth under elevated CO2 (eCO2) conditions, but no long-duration study h...
