Course description

To understand plant photosynthetic production under changing environment, especially effect of elevated CO2, O3 N and biological stresses on photosynthesis and allocation

Expected Learning

To comprehensive understanding photosynthetic production and allocation of photosynthates in woody species under changing environment based on the classic theory of plant ecology. Based on the article in Science (2000), we should understand the meaning of biodiversity conservation. Finally we will understand leaf level photosynthesis affected by increasing CO2, O3 and high nitrogen loading.

Course schedule

For this schedule, the hand-made note will be prepared and show how to study based on my note and　literatures. 1 Forest rehabilitation under changing environment and forest history in Japan (Guideline and method for studying and orientation based on slides) 2 Environmental and anthropogenic factors affecting on vegetation in Japan Larcher’ text (L): Chapter (Chap)1, 3 Photosynthetic production (biochemical analysis, shade tolerant) L-Chap2 4 Allocation of photosynthates (regulation, plant defense, and GDB hypothesis) L-Chap2, 5 5 Combination effects of CO2, O3 and N on photosynthetic production (symbiosis) L-Chap 1, 6 6 Xylem structure and water relations L-Chap 4 7 Nitrogen dynamics and cycling L-Chap 3 8 Reproduction of woody species, L-Chap 5,3, 5.4

Remarks 1

If you would like to lean biological stresses on trees, I will prepare a leaflet for your study. Please inform me when the lecture will start (this is for the pass of examinations of public servants)
