Invitation to ISAM2014, Hokkaido, 17-21 March 2014 |
|
ISAM (International Symposium on Agricultural Meteorology) has been held in adjunct to the annual meeting of the Society of Agricultural Meteorology of Japan (SAMJ) since 2008. ISAM2014 is the seventh symposium. |

| *Manuscript submission is only for those who wish to publish the paper, which was presented at ISAM2014, in the Journal of Agricultural Meteorology (JAM). The manuscript shall be subjected to the peer review, and the accepted manuscripts will be published on JAM. The review process is the same as those for our regular papers on JAM, but is accelerated for earlier publication of the ISAM2014 papers. Preparation of the manuscript is here (pdf). No volumes of proceedings are planned for ISAM2014. |

◆◆◆ Organized sessions ◆◆◆ |
| ◇IA:Micro-meteorological environments and physiological functions of plant | |
| Organizers | Kiyoshi Ozawa (Meiji University), Tsuneo Kuwagata (National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences), and Tsutomu Watanabe (Hokkaido University) |
| Contact | Tsuneo Kuwagata (National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences), kuwa affrc.go.jp |
| Outline | Extreme weather events such as prolonged heat spells are going to be more common in the warming climate. Such weather events influence agricultural crop yields and natural plants’ growth/regeneration cycles through changing the micro-meteorological environments of plant communities or agro-ecosystems. The micro-meteorological environments impact on the physiological functions of plant, which regulate water uptake, transpiration, photosynthesis and growth. The resulting changes in plant functions, at the same time, work to alter the micro-meteorological environments, thereby inducing a feedback loop. The recent findings on the gene expressions enable us to probe into the physiological response of plant to the micro-meteorological environments. In this session, we will discuss the close relationship between micro-meteorology, physiology, phenology and morphology of plant ecosystems with emphasis on their mechanistic responses to the changing climate and weather conditions. |
| ◇IB:Development and Practice of Advanced Basin Model in Asia | |
| Organizer | Kazuo Oki (The University of Tokyo) |
| Contact | Kazuo Oki (The University of Tokyo), kazuiis.u-tokyo.ac.jp |
| Outline | Agriculture is a critical factor that has a major impact on the environment in tropical regions, including Asia. Agriculture in tropical Asian nations faces four issues in relation to the environment. The first issue is the expansion of cultivated land and the accompanying increase in water demand. The second issue is environmental problems resulting from the spread of modern agricultural methods. The third issue is the increase in demand for biomass energy. The fourth issue is the concern that global warming will lead to a decrease in agricultural productivity. In order to mitigate these issues, we will develop and disseminate an environmentally advanced model in Asia that takes into consideration the balance of water, food and energy in response to climate change. |
| ◇IC:Sustainable forest and crop production affected by air pollution: an Asian perspectives | |
| Organizers | Makoto Watanabe (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology) and Takayoshi Koike (Hokkaido University) |
| Contact | Makoto Watanabe (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology), nab0602cc.tuat.ac.jp |
| Outline | Rapid economic development with fossil fuel consumption in Asian countries has induced serious air pollution in wider range of Asian region. As a result, air pollution is one of the most important factors that affect plant production in Asian region at the present time and near future. The aim of the session is to address the effects of air pollution on Asian crops and forest trees. Researchers in the fields of experimental study and flux study in vegetation will report and will discuss their latest results. |
