A method is presented for the control of carbon dioxide concentrations within the roots of Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh. The results indicated a linear fit of the root CO 2 concentrations to the CO 2 levels of the treatment gases: y = l.l. x +105 ( r = 0.98, 18 d.f.). The method presented for controlling CO 2 can be easily modified for other gas mixtures and plant species.
