Course description
In this lecture, we (Prof. Takeshi Izuta and Associate Professor
Makoto Watanabe) will lecture the effects of environmental stresses
such as gaseous air pollutants, acid deposition, atmospheric nitrogen
deposition, aerosol and global warming on plants. Slide of this
lecture is available at website
(http://www.tuat.ac.jp/~negitoro/).
This lecture contains a class dealing with the relationship between logical expansion in graduate thesis and processes in the works at company by a stuff with business experience
Expected Learning
Students are required to understand the effects of environmental stresses such as gaseous air pollutants, aerosol, acid deposition and global warming on plants (crops and trees) and its mechanisms.
