Ecophysiological Responses of Northern Birch Forests to the Changing Atmospheric CO2 and O3 Concentrations

The effects on birch (Betula spp.) of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3), which are both increasing in the troposphere, are surveyed in detail based on the literature. Birches establish themselves in the open field after disturbances, and then become dominant trees in temperate or boreal f...
