Summary: Huge research efforts have been undertaken to understand how plants and ecosystems, natural or agroecosystems, will respond to increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. In this context, several FACE field experiments were implemented and are underway, with the mission of subsidizing responses to diverse crops, forests, pastures and desert areas. FACE experiments allows the exposure of the plants to high concentrations of CO2 (eCO2) in natural environments, providing ideal conditions for the study impact of CO2 increase. The scientific information obtained through the implementation of the project and the aggregation of partners from other research institutions, can supply with information several policies on climate change.
