The LEEF Ecophysiology Package
Teaching the principles of ecophysiology can be simple to explain in the classroom, but these same topics can be difficult to understand in the lab or field setting without the proper tools. The LI-COR LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis System is designed to be your main teaching aid when discussing photosynthesis, fluorescence or respiration. This system will help answer many of the fundamental questions related to ecology and help quantify the interactions between plants, animals, and their relationship with the environment.
The LEEF Ecophysiology Package is designed for use by undergraduate students to address ecophysiological issues using the LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis and Fluorescence System, in addition to a number of interchangeable chambers for use in specific topics such as:
- Leaf and/or plant photosynthesis
- Plant stress
- Transpiration
- Effect of elevated CO2 on various plant species
- Plant adaptability due to temperature and humidity variations
- Light — leaf interaction
- Leaf chlorophyll fluorescence
- Soil respiration
- Insect respiration
- Invasive Species
- Crop improvement
- Biofuels productivity
- Ecosystem function
The LI-6400XT includes software exclusively designed for using the instrument in a classroom setting. The LEEF Ecophysiology Package also includes a DVD/CD package put together by professors experienced in the use of the LI-6400XT in the classroom, laboratory and field to help you integrate the instrument into your classroom.
