New Scientist: One way it will stand out is a novel experiment called FACE - Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment. It will be the first in the world to take a mature, temperate, broad-leafed woodland ecosystem and, where it stands, expose it to predicted future atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. We will look at the effects of the CO2 on the structure and functioning of the woodland.
With FACE we are responding to a lack of long-term data on the effects of CO2 on woodland. People have been saying we...
