Abstract
Since May 1987, we have set up 8 open-top chambers for the study of the physiology of trees under controlled stress conditions. Since 1989, two years after acclimatization, the atmosphere of the enclosures has been progressively enriched in CO2. The CO2 content in the air was raised to 480 and 570 ppmV respectively in two of the open-top chambers. In the four other chambers, the atmosphere was not enriched with gas.
