“Effects of environmental stresses on plants” The lecture targets on the effects of environmental stresses on plants such as crops and trees. Specifically, up-to-date information on the effects of gaseous air pollutants, acid deposition and aerosol (particulate matter) on crops and trees and its mechanisms will be introduced and explained. 1) Effects of photochemical oxidants (ozone) on plants The effects of photochemical oxidants (ozone) on growth and physiological functions such as photosynthesis on crops and trees, and its mechanisms will be explained. Furthermore, critical levels of ozone for protecting crops and trees will be introduced and explained. 2) Effects of acid deposition on trees The effects of acid rain, soil acidification and excessive nitrogen load from the atmosphere on growth, physiological functions such as photosynthesis and nutrient status of trees, and its mechanisms will be explained. 3) Effects of aerosol (fine particulate matter, PM2.5) on trees The effects of aerosol (particulate matter) on growth and physiological functions such as photosynthesis of trees, and its mechanisms will be explained. |
| Expected Learning |
