Centennial-scale atmospheric CO rise increased photosynthetic efficiency in a tropical tree species.

Tropical forests substantially influence the terrestrial carbon sink. Their contributions to the forest carbon sink may increase due to the stimulation of photosynthesis by rising atmospheric CO (C); however, the magnitude of this effect is poorly quantified for tropical canopy trees. We measured the ratio of two deuterium isotopomers of glucose derived from tree rings to estimate how photosynthetic efficiency (photorespiration-to-photosynthesis ratio) has responded to C rise at a centennial scale.
