Increasing CO2 accelerates root growth and enhances water acquisition during early stages of development in Larrea tridentata

•  Stimulation of root growth under elevated CO2 has been hypothesized to enhance soil water uptake under water-limiting conditions. The objectives of this study were to quantify the effects of rising CO2 on root development and soil water uptake in Larrea tridentata and to quantify root proliferati...
