10. The Influence of Atmospheric CO , Temperature, and Water on the Abundance of C /C Taxa 3 4 James R. Ehleringer 10.1 Introduction C and C photosynthesis are the two most common photosynthetic pathways 3 4 contributing to global primary productivity, with Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), a third pathway found in succulents, being of limited importance to global productivity (Sage and Monson 1999; Still et al. 2003). Atmospheric CO is the carbon source for all three pathways; one key distinguishing feature among them, however, is that both C and CAM photosynthesis involve a CO - 4 2 concentrating mechanism to create high CO concentrations at the site of pho- tosynthetic carboxylation. In contrast, C photosynthesis relies solely on diffusion of CO from the outside atmosphere to the sites of photosynthetic CO 2 2 fixation (Fig. 10.1). Hence, it is clear that changes in the atmospheric CO levels will more likely influence the photosynthetic activities of C than of C and 3 4 CAM plants. In this chapter, we focus on how changes in atmospheric CO might favor plants with C versus C photosynthesis and, in particular, consider 3 4 how environmental and ecological factors will affect these C
