Ginkgo Elevated CO2 Experiment

Fossil Atmospheres

We are growing Ginkgo biloba plants under ambient (400 ppm) and elevated CO2 levels (600, 800, and 1000 ppm).

Our experiment helps us estimate CO2 levels in fossil atmospheres using fossil Ginkgo leaves we collect from the geologic record.

Summary of work conducted in 2016 to build the open-top CO2 chambers.
