Notes:
The mean length of growing season is 185 days. The chambers were 3.0 m in diameter and 2.4 m high. An additional 1.2-m panel was installed at the beginning of the third growing season (1996) to accommodate the height growth of the seedlings. The chambers were modified to operate at either ambient or 4 ° C above ambient air temperature, in combination with ambient or elevated (+300 p.p.m.) atmospheric CO 2 concentration. Soil temperature at 10 cm depth was increased by 1.2 C by the warmer air in the elevated temperature chambers; elevation queried from lat lon using R geonames::GNstrm3
Soilnotes:
soils classified as Captina silt loam (fine-silty, siliceous, mesic Typic Fragiudult) with moderate-to-medium granular structure and medium internal drainage.
