| Abstract | The effect of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration on symbiotic nitrogen fixation in soybean under open-air conditions has not been reported. Two soybean cultivars (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Zhonghuang 13 and cv. Zhonghuang 35) were grown to maturity under ambient (415 ± 16 μmol mol -1) and elevated (550 ± 17 μmol mol -1) [CO2] at the free-air carbon dioxide enrichment experimental facility in northern China. Elevated [CO2] increased above- and below-ground biomass by 16-18% and 11-20%, respectively, but had no significant effect on the tissue C/N ratio at maturity. Elevated [CO2] increased the percentage of N derived from the atmosphere (%Ndfa, estimated by natural abundance) from 59% to 79% for Zhonghuang 13, and the amount of N fixed from 166 to 275 kg N ha -1, but had no significant effect on either parameter for Zhonghuang 35. These results suggest that variation in N2 fixation ability in response to elevated [CO2] should be used as key trait for selecting cultivars for future climate with respect to meeting the higher N demand driven by a carbon-rich atmosphere. |
