Abstract: The global environment is changing with increasing temperature due to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (CO2). As these two factors are concomitant, the global CO2 rise affect all biomes across the range of temperatures making it necessary to review the theory and observations on effects of temperature and CO2 interactions on plant growth, development, and yield. Elevated temperature has positive and/or negative effects on seedlings of forest trees. Aim of this study was to understand the response of Melia dubia seedlings and clones at different air temperature in an open top chamber. The changes in morphological and physiological parameters were assessed under the influence of different temperature treatments. The results indicated that irrespective of the planting material, the morphological parameters (Growth increment, number of leaves, number of leaflets, leaf area, leaf weight and collar diameter) were significantly influenced by the temperature.
