Ancient CO2 levels favor nitrogen fixing plants over a broader range of soil N compared to present
Abstract Small inreases in CO2 stimulate nitrogen fixation and plant growth. Increasing soil N can inhibit nitrogen fixation. However, no studies to date have tested how nitrogen fixing plants perform under ancient CO2 levels (100 MYA), when nitrogen fixing plants evolved, with different levels of N...
