eCO2 can increase NPP and biomass even in old forests, potentially due to a large increase in root exudates (and mediated by ectomycorrhizal fungi?):

Nature Climate Change - While experiments in younger trees support increased production under higher CO2, it is unclear whether more mature trees can respond similarly. Here, the authors show...
