Tropical epiphytes in a CO2-rich atmosphere 

 -  Acta Oecologica, 35, p.60-68, 2009 .
<br/><br/> We tested the effect on epiphyte growth of a doubling of pre-industrial CO2 concentration (280 vs. 560 ppm)combined with two light (three fold)and two nutrition (ten fold)treatments under close to natural humid conditions in daylight growth cabinets over 6 months. Across co-treatments and six species, elevated CO2 increased relative growth rates by only 6
