Abstract: The response of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change remains a large source of uncertainty in the global carbon budget. Now results from a ten-year ecological manipulation experiment in the Mojave Desert provide direct evidence that CO2 fertilization can substantially increase ecosystem carbon storage in arid ecosystems.
