Global warming has a strong effect on forests, an important part of the terrestrial ecosystem, because temperature change easily influences photosynthesis. At present, most studies about global warming′ s effects on photosynthesis are concentrated in high latitudes and alpine regions, with few reports from subtropical forests. Cunninghamia lanceolata is the main species used in afforestation in subtropical China. To clarify how C. lanceolata growth and photosynthesis respond to future global warming, we conducted a soil warming (cable heating, +4°C) experiment at Chenda observation point in the Sanming Research Station of Forest Ecosystem and Global Change, Fujian Province. We estimated growth variables ( tree
