Description: Concentrations of atmospheric CO₂ and tropospheric ozone (O₃) are rising concurrently in the atmosphere, with potentially antagonistic effects on forest net primary production (NPP) and implications for terrestrial carbon sequestration. Using free-air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) technology, we exposed north-temperate forest communities to concentrations of CO₂ and O₃

Keywords: Aspen FACE (free-air CO₂ enrichment), elevated carbon dioxide, global change, net primary production (NPP), tropospheric ozone (O₃)
