Basic and Applied Ecology
While the positive effects of rising atmospheric CO
2 on plant growth are well-recognized, climate alarmists often claim such benefits will be reduced or turn negative when they occur in conjunction with model-projected future increases in air temperature. Thus experiments examining the interactive effects of CO
2 and temperature are important for validating or invalidating such claims.

In a prior study (Habermann
et al., 2019) it was found that moderate warming and elevated CO
2 improved the growth and biomass production of
Stylosanthes capitata under adequate soil nutrient and water availability conditions. In a follow up study, Alzate-Marin
