Abstract:
The impacts of O
3 and CO
2 concentration doubling on the soybean leaf development and biomass are studied by using OTC-1 open top chambers.The results show that O
3 and CO
2 concentration doubling can lead to the yellow leaf ratio increase and the green leaf ratio decrease.CO
2 concentration doubling causes positive effects on the soybean leaf area,leaf weight,weight of green leaf and yellow leaf,as well as biomass,while O
3 concentration doubling causes negative effects on those.The mixed ozone and carbon dioxide may alleviate the negative effect of ozone on soybean biomass.The negative effect of O
3 on soybean leaf is more obvious than CO
2 in O
3 and CO
2 combination lasting concentration doubling. Before the bulge kernel stage,the alleviating effect of CO
2 on soybean leaf is apparent in the treatment of O
3 and CO
2 in combination gradually to concentration doubling;while after the bulge kernel stage,the effect of CO
2 and O
3 on soybean leaf is similar,the increasing of soybean biomass follows the curve of natural growth.
