The aim of the project is breefly to assess understory (10 species) CO2<\/sub> response curves with fertilisation. We have made mostly photosynthesis and respiration measurements in response to CO2<\/sub>\u00a0and\/or temperature. Including 2026 (once finished), we will have 3 years of CO2 response curves on understory plants on 10 species.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>

Findings so far:\u00a0<\/u>Some understory leaves may not like P fertilsation as much, but we are still in the process of analysing this<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
