Effects of elevated carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ozone (O₃) on wood properties of two initially 7-year-old silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) clones were studied after a fumigation during three growing seasons. Forty trees, representing two fast-growing clones (4 and 80), were exposed in open-top chambe...
