Abstract:

It is well known that the global atmospheric CO2 concentration, presently about 360 ppm, is increasing and is expected to double by the end of the next century. An increase in the atmospheric CO2 concentration should increase the plant photosynthetic rate

Key words: Legume plant, Photosynthetic rates, Nodules, N-fixing activity, C/N ratio
