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.
HOW WE BUILT IT
​
Building the elevated CO2 experiment from scratch in 2016.
