Course objectives
The course is devoted to demonstration and practical application of different methods used to measurements of physiological processes of plants growing in their habitats, as well to monitoring of abiotic factors in close vicinity of the studied plants. The main objective of the course is to provide ability of students: (a) to design suitable conceptual approach to solving specific ecological problems using physiological measurements, (b) to select the most appropriate methods for field data collection and their avaluation.
Syllabus
  • Principles, advantages and disadvantages of different sensors used in monitoring of abiotic variables (radiation, temperature, wind velocity, air humidity, soil water potential, carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration). Field data acquisition using data loggers. Principles of methods and available compact apparatus most frequently used for measurement of physiological processes in the field conditions (gasometry, fluorometry, reflectometry), their practical application . Design of ecophysiological studies using complementary measurements in laboratory conditions. Synthesis of analytical data with help of mathematical modelling.
