Short summary
Plant-based proxies for estimating atmospheric CO2 in the geologic past are becoming more popular. Here we test the reliability of a method based on leaf gas-exchange principles in a wide range of living plants. Overall, the average error rate (~28 %) is broadly similar to other paleo-CO2 proxies. Our results should increase confidence in using this recently developed method.
