Fig. 2. Relative seed yields combined for both years of the experiment (1999 and 2000) for Essex soybean grown in large pots or in the ground. Plants were treated with combinations of CO2 and O3 concentrations throughout the two growing seasons. Ozone treatments were charcoal-filtered (CF) air (22 to 24 nmol O3 mol–1) and nonfiltered (NF) air plus O3 (67 to 75 nmol O3 mol–1). Carbon dioxide treatments were ambient (369 to 373 µmol CO2 mol–1) and elevated (699 to 717 µmol CO2 mol–1). Treatments were CF air-ambient CO2 (CF-A), CF air-elevated CO2 (CF-CO2), NF air plus O3–ambient CO2 (OZ-A), and NF air plus O3–elevated CO2 (OZ-CO2). Relative treatment effects on seed yield for pot-grown and ground-grown plants are shown as a percentage of their respective control treatment (CF-A). Values are means ± SE.
