The physiological responses of plants to elevated CO(2) have not been incorporated into most models of ecosystem function under changed climate. These responses are now well documented, and recent work demonstrates that they can be readily included in ecosystem models. Simulations show that the effects of elevated CO(2) levels on transpiration and gas exchange will increase the sensitivity of community structure (particularly of forests) to climate change.
植物对升高的 CO(2) 的生理响应尚未纳入大多数气候变化下生态系统功能模型中。这些响应现在已经有充分的记录，最近的研究表明，它们可以很容易地纳入生态系统模型中。模拟表明，升高的 CO(2)水平对蒸腾和气体交换的影响将增加群落结构（特别是森林）对气候变化的敏感性。
