| Course description |
|
“Effects of environmental stresses on plants” The lecture targets on the effects of environmental stresses on plants. Specifically, up-to-date information on the effects of gaseous air pollutants and acid deposition on crops and trees will be introduced and explained. |
| Expected Learning |
| Understanding of the effects of environmental stresses (ozone, acid deposition and fine particulate matter) on growth, physiological functions such as photosynthesis and nutrient status of crops and trees. |
| Course schedule |
|
1) Effects of gaseous air pollutants on plants The effects of O3 on growth and physiological functions such as photosynthesis on crops and trees, and their mechanisms will be explained. 3) 2) Effects of acid deposition on trees The effects of acid rain, soil acidification and excessive nitrogen load on growth, physiological functions such as photosynthesis and nutrient status of crops and trees, and their mechanisms will be explained. 4) 3) Effects of particulate matter (PM2.5) on plants The effects of submicron particulate matter (PM2.5) such as black carbon particles and ammonium sulfate particles on growth, physiological functions such and nutrient status of crops and trees, and their mechanisms will be explained. |
