Fachkompetenzen:

After completing the course, students understand the complex interactions between plants and the abiotic environment in the Tropics and Subtropics. They are able to explain how plants respond to abiotic stresses, such as drought, temperature, and salinity and to modifiers such as humidity, solar radiation or CO2 concentration. They can discuss interactions and effects of global climate change on crop physiological aspects using case studies. Students are proficient in practically measuring physiological relations after laboratory and greenhouse exercises.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

While preparing and following up on lectures, during preparation for exams and in the exercises, students learn to both cooperate and work independently and to enhance their organizational skills. They practice critical and analytical thinking, while the seminar and exercises will increase their written and oral expression and communication skills.
