ITMN Online seminar on July 5, 4 pm CEST with Dr. David Galbraith on the Sensitivity of the Amazon forests to climate change
by Henrik Hartmann
Dear all,
The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO
task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality,
continues the online seminar series on *July 5, 4 pm CEST*, with:
*Dr. David Galbraith*
*Title: How does sensitivity to climate change vary across Amazon
forests? Insights from ecophysiology, forest dynamics, remote sensing
and modelling.*
_Abstract_: There is a pressing need to better understand and predict
the impacts of climate change on Amazon forests, given their important
role in the Earth System. In this talk, I present new results that
reveal how the sensitivity of Amazon forests to climate stressors varies
across the Basin, drawing upon new plant functional trait data
collection, forest inventory data analyses, remote sensing and ecosystem
modelling.
_Bio_: David Galbraith is Professor of Terrestrial Ecosystem Science at
the School of Geography, University of Leeds. His research focuses on
better understanding how global environmental change affects the
biogeochemical cycling and dynamics of tropical forests, with a
particular focus on the sensitivity of tropical ecosystems to water
stress and high temperatures. He leads a multidisciplinary team of
researchers that employ methodological approaches that encompass
field-based ecophysiological measurements, forest inventory analysis,
climate change experiments, remote sensing and modelling approaches.
