Enhancing Instrumentation For Plant And Environment Measurements

该项目为生物学学生开设了一门课程 使用现代仪器来表征物理 植物对环境的反应。学生掌握 仪器在监督实验室演习，然后使用 每项文书都要描述“自然”环境的特征， 在热带、沙漠和中部地区， 多室温室衡量的因素包括 温度、空气速度、湿度、土壤水分状况，以及 辐射量 该计划帮助学生更加了解 自然环境及其生物学后果。的 该项目还允许学生熟练掌握 现代仪器的选择和操作， 领域

This project has established a course for biology students using modern instrumentation to characterize physical environments and responses of plants to them. Students master the instruments in supervised laboratory exercises, then use each instrument to characterize the "natural" environment or plant responses in tropical, desert and mesic areas of a large multi-room greenhouse. Factors that are measured include temperature, air velocity, humidity, soil moisture status, and radiation quantity. This program is helping students become more aware of the physical environment and its biological consequences. The project is also allowing students to acquire proficiency in the choice and operation of modern instruments and research in this field.
