Long term effects of climate change on plant communities must be mediated by reproductive and recruitment responses of component species. From spring 2003 until autumn 2006, we monitored flowering and seed production responses to free air CO2 enrichment (FACE) and 2ºC warming in a species-rich, nutrient-poor southern temperate grassland using the TasFACE experiment. There were no effects of either FACE or warming on the proportion of species flowering in any year. Flowering, seed production and seed mass were not significantly affected by FACE, warming or their interaction in most species. Some species, however, did respond significantly to simulated global changes. These responses generally were not governed by life history, but there were two distinct trends. Firstly, warming increased the proportion of the population that flowered in perennial grasses but not in other species types. Secondly, flowering and seed production of both perennial woody dicots responded strongly to the interaction of FACE and warming with Bossiaea prostrata producing most seeds in warmed FACE plots and Hibbertia hirsuta producing the most in unwarmed FACE plots. FACE increased seed mass four fold in the perennial C3 grass Elymus scaber (P<0.01) but substantially reduced seed mass of the perennial C3 grass Austrodanthonia caespitosa (P<0.02) and the perennial forb Hypochaeris radicata (P<0.02), with the remainder of species unaffected. Our results indicate that warming and elevated CO2 had little effect on seed production in the temperate grassland ecosystem. The few significant affects there were, however, are likely to have substantial implications for community composition and structure.

Flowering is a critical stage in plant life cycles, and changes might alter processes at the species, community and ecosystem levels. Therefore likely flowering-time responses to global change drivers are needed for predictions of global change impacts on natural and managed ecosystems. Here we report the impact of elevated [CO2] (550 mol mol-1) and warming (+2ºC) on flowering times in a native, species-rich, temperate grassland in Tasmania, Australia in both 2004 and 2005. Elevated [CO2] did not affect average time of first flowering in either year, only affecting 3 out of 23 species. Warming reduced time to first flowering by an average of 19.1 days in 2004, acting on most species, but did not significantly alter flowering time in 2005, which might be related to the timing of rainfall. Elevated [CO2] and warming treatments did not interact on flowering time. These results show elevated [CO2] did not alter average flowering time or duration in this grassland, nor did it alter the response to warming. Therefore, flowering phenology appears insensitive to increasing [CO2] in this ecosystem although the response to warming varies between years but can be strong.

While the influence of elevated CO2 on the production, mass and quality of plant seeds has been well studied, the effect of warming on these characters is largely unknown and there is practically no information on possible interactions between warming and elevated CO2, despite the importance of these characters to population maintenance and recovery. Here we present the impacts of elevated CO2 and warming, both in isolation and combination, on seed production, mass, quality, germination success and subsequent seedling growth of Austrodanthonia caespitosa a dominant temperate C3 grass from Australia, using seeds collected from the TasFACE experiment. Mean seed production and mass were not significantly affected by either elevated CO2 or warming but elevated CO2 more than doubled the proportion of very light, inviable seeds (P<0.05) and halved mean seed N concentration (P<0.04) and N content (P<0.03). The dependence of seed germination success on seed mass was affected by an elevated CO2  warming interaction (P<0.004), such that maternal exposure to elevated CO2 or warming reduced germination if applied in isolation but not when applied in combination. Maternal effects were retained when seedlings were grown in a common environment for six weeks, with seedlings descended from warmed plants 20% smaller (P<0.008) with a higher root:shoot ratio (P<0.001) than those from unwarmed plants. Given that both elevated CO2 and warming reduced seed mass, quality, germinability or seedling growth, it is likely that global change will reduce population growth or distribution of this dominant species.

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) has the potential to stimulate ecosystem productivity and sink strength, reducing the effects of carbon emissions on climate. In terrestrial ecosystems, increasing [CO2] can reduce soil nitrogen (N) availability to plants, preventing the stimulation of ecosystem carbon assimilation; a process known as progressive nitrogen limitation. Using ion exchange membranes to assess the availability of dissolved organic N, ammonium and nitrate, we found that CO2 enrichment in an Australian, temperate, perennial grassland did reduce soil N availability, mostly by reducing nitrate availability. Importantly, the addition of 2ºC warming prevented this effect while warming without CO2 enrichment did not significantly affect N availability. These findings indicate that global warming plays an important role in the impact of [CO2] on ecosystem N cycling, potentially overturning CO2-induced effects, with consequences for ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration. Keywords: elevated CO2, FACE, progressive nitrogen limitation, warming, biogeochemistry

Species differ in their responses to global changes like rising CO2 and temperature meaning that global changes are likely to change the structure of plant communities. Such alterations in community composition must be underlain by changes in the population dynamics of component species. Here we report the impact of elevated CO2 (550 mol mol-1) and warming (+2ºC) on population growth of four plant species important in Australian temperate grasslands. We analysed data collected from the TasFACE experiment between 2003 and 2006 using population matrix models. Population growth of Themeda triandra, a perennial C4 grass, was largely unaffected by either factor but population growth of Austrodanthonia caespitosa, a perennial C3 grass, was reduced substantially in elevated CO2 plots. Warming and elevated CO2 had antagonistic effects on population growth of two invasive weeds, Hypochaeris radicata and Leontodon taraxacoides, with warming causing population decline. Analysis of life cycle stages showed that seed production, seedling emergence and establishment were important factors in the species’ responses to global changes. These results show that the demographic approach is very useful in understanding the variable responses of plants to global changes and elucidating the life cycle stages most responsive.
