Growth, nitrogen uptake, and metabolism in two semiarid shrubs grown at ambient and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations: Effects of nitrogen supply and source

The effect of differences in nitrogen (N) availability and source on growth and nitrogen metabolism at different atmospheric CO2 concentrations in Prosopis glandulosa and Prosopis flexuosa (native to semiarid regions of North and South America, respectively) was examined. Total biomass, allocation,...

Total biomass, allocation, N uptake, and metabolites (e.g., free NO3 -, soluble proteins, organic acids) were measured in seedlings grown in controlled environment chambers for 48 d at ambient (350 ppm) and elevated (650 ppm) CO2 and fertilized with high (8.0 mmol/L) or low (0.8 mmol/L) N (N,level), supplied at either 1:1 or 3:1 NO3 -:NH4 + ratios (Nsource).

This enhancement, in combination with responses that increase N acquisition and increases in water use efficiency typically found at elevated CO2, may indicate that these semiarid species will be better able to cope with both nutrient and water deficits as CO2 levels rise.
