Abstract/Contents: | "Changes in the balance between mixed plant species have been reported under elevated [CO2] compared with ambient atmospheric [CO2]. We hypothesized that species response to elevated CO2 in mixture can be explained by taking into account resource partitioning between mixed species. The hypothesis was tested experimentally on three perennial C3 grass species (Lolium perenne, Festuca arundinacea and Holcus lanatus) grown in monocultures and in binary mixtures. (Lolium - Festuca and Lolium - Holcus) under mild (frequent cuts) or severe (infrequent cuts) competition for light and at a high N supply (40 g N m-2). Under mild competition for light, the dry matter yield response to elevated CO2 of the mixed grass species was similar to that observed in monocultures. By contrast, under severe light competition, the grass species that absorbed more light per unit leaf area (Holcus and Festuca), also had a greater response to elevated CO2 in mixture compared with monoculture. Under our experimental conditions, we have shown that the dry matter yield response to CO2 in mixture can be predicted from both the species response in monoculture, and the light capture per unit leaf area in ambient CO2 of the mixed compared with the pure grasses." |
