| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Research topics related to forest science have various contents ranging from fundamental and important to applied and up to date. This is an intensive course by extramural lecturers for each theme. The theme of this course is “Plant photosynthetic production.” The photosynthetic production that converts the physical energy of sunlight into chemical energy of sugar is overviewed. Considering the environment dependence of respiration, the net primary production of various ecosystems is discussed. Also, the influence of global environmental change on pure primary production is considered. |
||
| Course Goals |
Understanding in photosynthesis production. Understanding in the net primary production of various ecosystems. Understanding in the influence of global environmental change on pure primary production. |
||
| Schedule and Contents |
1 Sunlight and light absorption by plant 2 Light absorption, exciton transfer, charge separation, electron transfer 3 Production and control of ATP and NADPH 4 Calvin-Benson circuit, photorespiration, C4 and CAM 5 Construction principle and environmental response of single leaf photosynthesis system 6 Respiration and pure primary production, community photosynthesis 7 Pure primary production of each ecosystem, global environmental change and production |
