(in Polish) Applied Ecophysiology
2600-AE-GC-1-S2
The first part of the course involves understanding the anatomical structure of trees and linking them to mechanical and physiological functions. The next part involves measuring gas exchange in selected tree species, linking the obtained values to the ecological requirements of the species, time of day, and weather during the measurements. The next part concerns the determination of measurements related to photosynthetically active radiation and linking the measurements to the species composition of plants. During the lectures we discuss the effects of temperature, food and water availability on animal physiological ecology. During the field classes we survey occupation of nest boxes and also learn about the use of physical models in analyzing environmental heterogeneity.
