Dear colleagues,
Dear colleagues,
As you probably know, I'm the coordinator of the IUFRO Working Party
2.08.05 Evolution and Adaptation of Fagaceae and Nothofagaceae.
I'm an experimental tree ecophysiologist in France
<https://eng-silva.nancy.hub.inrae.fr/research-teams/phare/staff/personal-page/brendel-oliver>
and I'm trying to set up an *European network of experimental tree
ecophysiologists*.
I unfortunately don't know the disciplines of all scientists that have
joined our mailing list, but I know that we have quite a few
ecophysiologists in our working party.
I would like to put together a list of scientists in Europe, who are
actively doing experimental forest tree ecophysiology research, to be
more specific about what I mean by ‘experimental tree ecophysiology’:
* experimental approaches where environmental variables are controlled
(soil and air moisture, temperature, CO₂, ozone, wind, etc.)
* therefore approaches in growth chambers, phytotrons, ecotrons,
mesocosms and greenhouses
* scientists studying the tree's responses to the environmental
change, at physiological, cellular, organ or whole plant level
* essentially seedlings in pots, containers, lysimeters, etc
So, if you find yourself within this description, but also if you can
think about colleagues in your country who are actively doing such a
research, I would appreciate very much a short email from you. Some
scientists on the mailing list are not European, but perhaps you have
collaborations in Europe, and know about research groups I could
contact. Or you could forward my email to them. And perhaps, in the long
run, the networking can be enlargened.
In the moment I'm only collecting email addresses, in a second step I
will send out a questionnaire as a basis for networking.
Many thanks in advance
all the best
Oliver Brendel
