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.

*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.

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.

_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.
