The graphs are great. One idea that caught my attention was that C might not result in increase bio mass prodution because there wasn't enough N in the soil to catalyze the reactions that made the growth. This 'because' was a generalization, since there appeared to be plenty of N in the soil in the Northeast, Northwest and right here in the Upper Penninsula. Maybe there will be increased growth in these areas. TBD……
