Klimawandel und Vegetation

The module provides an insight into topics related to climate change and its impact on plants and plant biodiversity. Plants make a significant contribution to mitigating climate change by absorbing CO2 through photosynthesis. They are directly and indirectly affected by rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, e.g. by an increase in plant photosynthesis, known as the fertilisation effect, but also by a decrease in carbon uptake due to climatic stress (e.g. water shortage, high temperatures, etc.). Students will acquire a basic knowledge of vegetation-atmosphere feedbacks, focusing on the effects of climatic stress, plant physiological responses and vegetation-related climate change mitigation strategies. They will be able to understand and assess environmental problems such as deforestation and extreme events in the context of climate change.
