WATCH NOW ONLINE Seminar by Belinda Medlyn on tree mortality in Australia

by ITMN-Henrik Hartmann

Dear all, Seminar #3 of the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO Task Force on Monitoring Trends and Patterns of Global Tree Mortality, is now available online. Watch this seminar at: https://youtu.be/hRlBc7oR328 <https://youtu.be/hRlBc7oR328> *Prof. BELINDA MEDLYN* _Tree mortality in Australian ecosystems: past, present and future_ _Abstract_: Australia is not only the driest inhabited continent, it also experiences high interannual variability in rainfall, and severe multi-year droughts. Tree death from drought is thus a recurring feature of the Australian landscape. In this talk I will review our current understanding of drought mortality in Australian ecosystems, including the historical context, current field research on the extent and mechanisms of drought dieback and recovery, and the development of models to predict future drought mortality risk. _Belinda is Distinguished Professor at the University of Western Sydney_. Her research focuses on how plants, especially forests, respond to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate change. She works at the interface between experiments and models: her aim is to develop evidence-based models of how ecosystem productivity, water use and species composition will be affected by global change, and to do so she works closely with a number of experimental teams world-wide to test and improve ecosystem models. *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ <https://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ> Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon https://youtu.be/KoC8E6P3Zu8 <https://youtu.be/KoC8E6P3Zu8> Visit us at: https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ https://www.tree-mortality.net/ --

International Tree Mortality Network seminar series: Jan 19@ 4 pm CET - online seminar with Dr. Flávia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon

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, is presenting the second lecture of the online seminar series. You are invited to join on *Jan 19 (4 pm, CET)*: *Dr Flávia Costa, *Brazilian National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA) *Tree mortality in the Amazon across local hydrological gradients: how water table depth may save or condemn trees as climate changes* _Abstract_: Dr Costa will present results of 20 years of investigation on patterns of forest response to soil hydrology (more specifically water table depth) during normal and extreme climatic years to examine the hypothesis that shallow water tables buffer forests from droughts and forests in these conditions may even be benefited by droughts. Dr Costa will also present some data on the hydraulic trait distributions along hydrological gradients to analyse the shifting implications to mortality during moderate to strong droughts. Please join us for this highly interesting seminar and register at: https://bham-ac-uk.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VjP6hujGRYGoLizdbAJe2A <https://bham-ac-uk.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VjP6hujGRYGoLizdbAJe2A> If you are interested in contributing to the seminar series and/or have suggestions for additional speakers, please contact us at: treemortnet(a)gmail.com _Dr Flávia Costa, Researcher @ Brazilian National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA)_ Dr Flávia Costa is plant ecologist studying forest dynamics, anthropogenic impacts, functional and historical ecology of the Amazon for the last 25 years, based at the Brazilian National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA, Manaus). Dr Costa's current research focuses on the effects of local hydrology on the structure, composition, dynamics and function of the species and forests facing climate change. Dr Costa also runs the long-term ecological site of Reserva Ducke in the central Amazon.
