The Workshop
During this workshop you will get an overview of photosynthesis, respiration, and associated processes in trees. The workshop, which will be delivered across one day comprising three 2-hour sessions, will consider interconnected key biological processes.
Session 1: Photosynthesis
-
- The creation of energy
- The component of light – in light and dark reactions
- The component of water
- The component of carbon dioxide
Session 2: Respiration
-
- The use of energy
- The compensation point
- The rotational cycle of respiration and photosynthesis
- Calvin cycle
- C3 and C4 plants
Session 3: Interrelated biological processes
-
- Osmosis – absorption
- Translocation
- Transpiration
- Gaseous exchange
After completing this workshop, attendees will be able to understand the main biological processes and interactions occurring in a tree, how they are interrelated and synchronised, how the process differs in C3/C4 plants, and the adverse effects of any constraints/limitations imposed.
