Abstract: The stimulation of plant growth by increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations could function as a negative feedback damping the future rate of climate change. Results from a rare long-term (13 year) grassland experiment demonstrate that nitrogen supply can act to constrain the extent of CO2 fertilization. Such interactions are not yet incorporated into Earth system models.
