Course description

Climate change is affecting temperature, rainfall, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and there is need to better understand the ability of plants to adapt to future environments. Can past climates facilitate understanding of how plants will fare in the future? How do environmental stresses including salinity, drought and toxic metals interact with plant function? What are the challenges and opportunities? Linking plants and soils, nutrient and carbon relations are viewed with focus on Australian plants and ecosystems. Original research projects complement the concepts explored.
