Abstract

Rising CO2 and increasing temperatures affect photosynthesis directly, but can also impact net CO2 assimilation rates by altering leaf nitrogen. We review the effects of high CO2 and warming on photosynthesis, including photosynthetic acclimation, focusing on the role of leaf nitrogen. While elevated CO2 often leads to a decrease in leaf nitrogen and an associated down-regulation of photosynthesis, there is growing evidence from field experiments that photosynthetic down-regulation may be avoided over decadal timescales if plants increase their access to soil nitrogen. In an analysis of 59 species grown at elevated CO2, we found no relationship between the increase in growth CO2 concentration and changes in leaf nitrogen content, implying that decreases in leaf nitrogen concentration and leaf mass per area largely offset each other. However, there was a positive relationship between changes in leaf nitrogen content and the degree of photosynthetic down-regulation in response to elevated CO2 in C3, but not C4, species.
