Our study shows that oak trees in mature forests can increase wood production by 10% with elevated CO₂, establishing a beneficial link for growth.
While increased CO₂ is advantageous for tree growth, it remains a temporary fix for climate change, as wood eventually decays returning carbon to the atmosphere.
Using the Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (Face) technique, this research focuses on older oak trees to predict their response to future atmospheric CO₂ levels.
The findings provide a unique perspective compared to previous studies on eucalyptus forests, confirming that carbon enhancement impacts older broadleaf forests.
