This growth chamber design extends the range of pCO2 conditions for which plants can be grown for δ13 C analysis of their tissues at subambient levels. This new capability allows for careful isolation of environmental effects on plant 13 C discrimination across the entire range of pCO2 experienced by terrestrial land plants.
