Clonal differences in aspen responses to elevated CO2 and O3 are shown in this figure of estimated volume (diameter2 x height). Isebrands et al. 2001. Environmental Pollution. 115: 359-371. Treatment_Figure.jpg
The responses of aspen to elevated CO2 and O3, alone and in combination, are shown here. Note still diverging height and diameter growth under CO2 and O3. Also note that CO2 + O3 treatments are not significantly different from controls. Percy et al. 2002. Nature. 420: 403-407.
