For example, the 2007-2010 Horsham FACE project (using wheat crops) in Victoria, Australia, found "The effect of eCO2 was to increase crop biomass at maturity by 20% and anthesis root biomass increased by 49%". This study also concludes that "a wide gene pool needs to be investigated to see if particular cultivars are able to respond more to eCO2".
The Horsham FACE project (using wheat crops) in Victoria, Australia, from 2007 to 2010 found that increasing carbon dioxide levels had a positive impact on crop growth. Specifically, it increased the biomass of both mature plants and roots by 20% and 49%, respectively. The study also suggested that a diverse gene pool should be explored to determine which cultivars are most responsive to elevated CO2 levels.
