\keyword{datasets}{CO2}
\begin{Description}\relax
The \code{CO2} data frame has 84 rows and 5 columns of data from an
experiment on the cold tolerance of the grass species
\emph{Echinochloa crus-galli}.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}CO2\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Format}\relax
This data frame contains the following columns:
\describe{
\item[Plant] an ordered factor with levels
\code{Qn1} < \code{Qn2} < \code{Qn3} < \dots < \code{Mc1}
giving a unique identifier for each plant.

\item[Type] a factor with levels
\code{Quebec} 
\code{Mississippi}
giving the origin of the plant

\item[Treatment] a factor with levels
\code{nonchilled} 
\code{chilled}

\item[conc] a numeric vector of ambient carbon dioxide concentrations (mL/L).

\item[uptake] a numeric vector of carbon dioxide uptake rates
(\eqn{\mu\mbox{mol}/m^2}{umol/m^2} sec).

}
\end{Format}
\begin{Details}\relax
The \eqn{CO_2}{CO2} uptake of six plants from Quebec and six plants
from Mississippi was measured at several levels of ambient
\eqn{CO_2}{CO2} concentration.  Half the plants of each type were
chilled overnight before the experiment was conducted.
