Global climate change response program. Assessment of responses of `hydrilla verticillata` to atmospheric change with modeling predictions for four western United States reservoirs. Final report
Technical Report

OSTI ID:200200
Plant growth showed that elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced the growth of Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle), and that the percentage of the enhancement was strongly temperture dependent. Temperature influenced the dry matter allocation among different plant parts, but elevated CO2 concentration did not influence this allocation. A mechanistic, steady-state, photosynthesis model for submerged aquatic macrophytes successfully predicted observed photosynthetic responses to light, temperature, and ambient CO2 for plants grown in ambient and elevated atmospheric CO2.
