Seminario - Biotecnologie e Bioscienze - Giovedì 24 ottobre 2024, ore 16:30, edificio U3-BIOS, aula U3-08
Emily Rose Palm, Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences - University of Milano-Bicocca
Abstract

Impermeable surfaces, unlike vegetation, do little to attenuate high temperatures, standing water, soil and air pollution. Variation in how plants respond to and affect these environmental factors can be directly linked to leaf and root functional traits: leaf area and shape, trichomes, carbon assimilation rate and stomatal conductance, root architecture and biochemical interactions with the soil. This talk will focus on the morphological and physiological mechanisms by which plants contribute toward improved air quality and water-use efficiency in an urban context, highlighting the work being conducted in the Piazza della Scienza as a part of MUSA (Multilayered Urban Sustainability Action).
Il seminario è APERTO a tutti.
