The competitive advantage of a constitutive CAM species over a C4 grass species under drought and CO2 enrichment

The competitive advantage of a constitutive CAM species over a C4 grass species under drought and CO2 enrichment

Abstract Plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are increasing in distribution and abundance in drylands worldwide, but the underlying drivers remain unknown. We investigate the impacts of extreme drought and CO2 enrichment on the competitive relationships between seedlings of Cylindropuntia...
