Abstract
Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) can stimulate plant growth through enhanced photosynthetic rate. However, plant C, N and P ratios in response to elevated [CO2] combined with canopy warming in rice-winter wheat rotation system remain largely unknown. Here we investigated the impacts of elevated [CO2] and warming on plant nutrient ratios under open-air conditions. Four treatments including the ambient condition (CK), elevated [CO2] (500 ppm, CE), canopy warming (+2 °C, WA), and the combination of elevated [CO2] and warming (CW) were used to investigate the responses of plant C, N and P ratios in a rice-winter wheat rotation system in southeast China. Results showed that elevated..
