| Abstract | Plant communities around natural CO$_{2}$ springs have been exposed to elevated CO$_{2}$ levels over many generations and give us a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of long-term elevated CO$_{2}$ levels on wild plants. We searched for natural CO$_{2}$ springs in cool temperate climate regions in Japan and found three springs that were suitable for studying long-term responses of plants to elevated levels of CO$_{2}$: Ryuzin-numa, Yuno-kawa and Nyuu. At these CO$_{2}$ springs, the surrounding air was at high CO$_{2}$ concentration with no toxic gas emissions throughout the growth season, and there was natural vegetation around the springs. At each site, high-CO$_{2}$ (HC) and low-CO$_{2}$ (LC) plots were established, and three dominant species at the shrub layers were used for physiological analyses. Although the microenvironments were different among the springs, dicotyledonous species growing at the HC plots tended to have more starch and less nitrogen per unit dry mass in the leaves than those growing at the LC plots. In contrast, monocotyledonous species growing in the HC and LC plots had similar starch and nitrogen concentrations. Photosynthetic rates at the mean growth CO$_{2}$ concentration were higher in HC plants than LC plants, but photosynthetic rates at a common CO$_{2}$ concentration were lower in HC plants. Efficiency of water and nitrogen use of leaves at growth CO$_{2}$ concentration was greatly increased in HC plants. These results suggest that natural plants growing in elevated CO$_{2}$ levels under cool temperate climate conditions have down-regulated their photosynthetic capacity but that they increased photosynthetic rates and resource use efficiencies due to the direct effect of elevated CO$_{2}$ concentration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
