Plant developmental responses to climate change
Sharon B. Gray,Siobhan M. Brady +1 more
TL;DR: There is a need for further research regarding the molecular mechanisms of plant developmental responses to climate change factors in general, and that this lack of data is particularly prevalent in the case of interactive effects of multipleClimate change factors.

Ainsworth,Elizabeth A. Ainsworth,Carl J. Bernacchi,Carl J. Bernacchi,Stephen P. Long,Donald R. Ort,Donald R. Ort,Andrew D. B. Leakey +17 more
TL;DR: This eight-year study used precipitation manipulation and year-to-year variation in weather conditions at a unique open-air field facility to show that the stimulation of soybean yield by elevated [CO2] diminished to zero as drought intensified.

Siebers,L. van der Linden,O. van Straaten,André Granier +23 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of effects of precipitation manipulations must use a more ecologically meaningful metric to describe the actual treatment than merely the change in precipitation to understand why plant responses to altered precipitation differ among ecosystems.

Multiple Climate Change Factors Interact to Alter Soil Microbial Community Structure in an Old-Field Ecosystem
TL;DR: This article evaluated the direct and interactive effects of three climate change factors (elevated CO 2, altered amounts of precipitation, and elevated air temperature) on soil microbial communities from an old-field climate change experiment being conducted at Oak Ridge, TN.

Minirhizotron imaging reveals that nodulation of field-grown soybean is enhanced by free-air CO2 enrichment only when combined with drought stress
Sharon B. Gray,Reid S. Strellner,Kannan K Puthuval,Christopher Ng,Ross E Shulman,Matthew H. Siebers,Alistair Rogers,Andrew D. B. Leakey +7 more
TL;DR: Minirhizotron imaging is utilised as a novel in situ method for assessing the number, size and distribution of nodules in field-grown soybean exposed to elevated atmospheric CO2 ([CO2]) and reduced precipitation to reveal previously uncharacterised changes in nodule production and distribution in response to global environmental change.
