“…Therefore, focusing on environmental/agricultural drought conditions in future scenarios, the role of CO 2 effects on AED could be strongly different than for average conditions (or even than for mild drought conditions) (Morgan et al, 2004;Xu, Jiang, Jia, & Zhou, 2016). Different experiments based on enriched CO 2 conditions have showed that elevated CO 2 does not reduce nor delay tree mortality under drought (Bachofen, Moser, Hoch, Ghazoul, & Wohlgemuth, 2018;Duan et al, 2014Duan et al, , 2015, and that the same pattern occurs in pastures and shrubs (Nackley et al, 2018) and in crops (Dikšaitytė, Viršilė, Žaltauskaitė, Januškaitienė, & Juozapaitienė, 2019).…”
