Inhalt:

Experiments on Global Change is covered by a small but nice greenhouse experiment in which one of the most important resources to plant growth - water - is manipulated. At the same time, water shortage is one of the major expected side effects of climate change in many areas and therefore represents a nice example to study climate change effects. The students will analyse the response of C3 and C4 species to water shortage and learn about water cycling, water use efficiency and physiological adaptation of vegetation to resource deficiency. Furthermore, they will do cuvette experiments with increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations to evaluate primary plant responses to elevated CO2.
