Data from 13 long-term (> 1 yr), field-based studies of the effects of elevated CO 2 concentration ([CO 2 ]) on European forest tree species were analysed using meta-analysis and modelling. Meta-analysis was used to determine mean responses across the data sets, and data were fitted to two commonly used models of stomatal conductance in order to explore response to environmental conditions and the relationship with assimilation.
