Abstract
Reports on a study which found suppression of microbial decomposition in an annual grassland after continuous exposure to increased carbon dioxide (CO[sub2]). Effects of the increased carbon dioxide, including enhanced plant nitrogen uptake and available carbon for microbes; Results which indicated that increased carbon dioxide can alter the interaction between plants and microbes so that microbial decomposition is slowed and ecosystems increase carbon accumulation.
