In the summer of 1988, Tuskegee University, along with Brookhaven National Laboratory, Manhattan College, and USDA laboratories in Tallahassee, FL and Phoenix, AZ, participated in joint program to evaluate the feasibility of using a Free Air CO/sub 2/ Enrichment (FACE) system to conduct experiments on the effects of elevated CO/sub 2/ on cotton. The experiments were conducted in Yazoo City, MS, under the direction of the US Department of Energy, Carbon Dioxide Research Division. Tuskegee University's role in the project included the following objectives: (1)Soil moisture and nutrient analysis before planting and at harvest. (2) Photosynthesis and stomatal conductance measurements at ambient and enriched CO/sub 2/ atmosphere. (3) Leaf water potential measurements. (4) CO/sub 2/ distribution patterns in the FACE array. 12 figs., 14 tabs.
