Abstract
Examines the interactions among plant diversity, increased carbon dioxide (CO2), and increased nitrogen (N) in the BioCON experimental setup in Minnesota. Increasing species diversity generally lowered both C:N and CY ratios. Under elevated CO2 levels, increasing diversity also led to a more modest increase in the C:N ratio. Legumes exhibited lower C:N and higher CY and NY ratios than non-legumes. The authors conclude that CO2, N, and plant species diversity interact to affect above and belowground processes.Suggested Citation
