The less maritime communities occurring on Hirta are mainly a range of acid-loving species: poor submontane grassland and heaths consisting of ling and cottongrass Calluna vulgaris - Eriophorum vaginatum bog, extensive mixed Nardus-Calluna-Rhacomitrium lanuginosum heath with Luzula sylvatica grassland dominant on the summit of Conachair. From Wordnik.com. [St Kilda (Hirta) National Nature Reserve, United Kingdom] Reference
The first experiment that manipulated CO2 in the Arctic concluded that elevated CO2 concentrations had no long-term effects because photosynthetic acclimation (i.e., down-regulation, the physiological adjustment of photosynthetic rate so that no differences are found between plants grown at ambient and elevated CO2 levels) in cottongrass ( '' Eriophorum vaginatum '') was apparent within three weeks and biomass did not increase.
