Stephen P. Long
PROFESSOR
Crop sciences
University of Illinois at urbana champaign
United States of America
Biography
He has received his B.Sc.: Agricultural Botany, Reading University, England — 1972, Ph.D.: Plant Sciences, Leeds University, England — 1976, D.Sc. Environmental Science (honoris causa), University of Lancaster, UK - 2007. Now he is aProfessor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Research Interest
To understand mechanisms of plant responses to both rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and tropospheric ozone, with particular reference to photosynthesis and relating changes at the molecular and biochemical level to observations of whole systems in the field. To understand crop responses to global atmospheric and climate change. Establish the potential of mitigation of atmospheric change through the development of herbaceous energy crops.
