The CO2 fertilization factors used in models to project future yields were derived from enclosure studies conducted approximately 20 years ago. Free-air concentration enrichment (FACE) technology has now facilitated large-scale trials of the major grain crops at elevated CO2 under fully open-air field conditions. In those trials, elevated CO2 enhanced yield by ∼50\% less than in enclosure studies. This casts serious doubt on projections that rising CO2 will fully offset losses due to climate change.
