This paper summarizes the data on growth response and N uptake in open-top chambers planted with ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) treated with both N (0, 10, and 20 g N msub-2 yrsub-1 as ammonium sulfate ) and CO2. Both N and elevated CO2 caused increased growth. The effects of N on growth response to elevated CO2 were assessed in various ways and various interpretations could be drawn depending on which metric was used, including a negative effect of N on growth response to CO2. These calculations suggest that expressing growth as percentages can be misleading, especially when done on a grams per tree basis
