Using an optimality model to understand medium and long-term responses of vegetation water use to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations
Modelling results presented in this paper suggest that elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations (eCO2) lead to reductions in leaf-level stomatal conductance and increases in water use efficiency. One consequence was a predicted increase in the perennial vegetation cover and rooting depth in water-lim...
