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.

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)
