Nitrogen and water use efficiencies under elevated CO2
Water and nitrogen are two limiting resources for biomass production of terrestrial vegetation. Palmroth et al. employ optimization theory to quantify interactions between marginal water and nitrogen resource use...
Funds flood into plant water use research
For too long, CAM [crassulacean acid metabolism, in which CO2 is fixed into an organic acid at night when stomata are open(!) in such plants and re-fixed via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham et al. Cycle – C3 photosynthesis...

Responses of legumes to temperature and low phosphorus
Suriyagoda et al. investigate root and shoot responses of three perennial legumes (Cullen cinereum, Kennedia nigricans and Lotus australis) to a range of temperatures at limited phosphorus supply and find that faster...
