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 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
