MEETING: Phys-Fest 2, Holden Arboretum, Kansas State University, July 15-19, 2018

这个研究生培训研讨会（物理节2）是围绕植物生态生理学数据的小组收集组织的。与第一次研讨会（Konza Prairie - 2016）类似，将通过现场培训，合议和互动数据收集来实现生态生理学科学研究的坚实基础。一个关键的需要存在广泛的生态生理学培训，因为许多研究生有有限的接触到不同的生态生理学设备，技术和数据解释。物理节2将通过指导研究，与教师教师的密切互动，以及旨在教授有效的科学沟通技能的晚间活动来满足这一需求。物理节2将主办的霍尔顿植物园，一个物种多样，成熟的落叶林附近的克利夫兰，俄亥俄州。霍尔顿植物园包含一个悬挂的树冠步行和一个紧急塔，两者都提供了一个“在树冠经验”的研讨会参与者。在霍尔顿安排这个研讨会提供了一个独特的科学机会，深入了解学生的非学术职业生涯，并在植物园与日间游客公众参与的机会。 本次研讨会（物理节2）将侧重于植物生态生理学，并偏离了简短的演讲和海报的典型会议形式。 在这里，参与者将使用复制的设备进行合作，以测量四大类的叶级和整株植物生理学：植物水力学，气体交换，荧光和热/高光谱成像。测量将在多个冠层高度复制的树木与分布式仪器阵列，包括植被指数，PRI，叶片湿度，冠层温度和微气候传感器。这一战略将促进林冠内的生理测量，如监测森林树冠对昼夜变化的反应。这些测量将展示基本的生态生理冠层过程，提供直接的联系，在冠层小气候梯度，并将是有用的缩放过程在落叶林冠层下动态。组织物理节2是专门为了促进与会者之间的网络联系和有意义的互动。在第二天和第三天的晚上将举行两种类型的科学传播培训。霍尔顿植物园的工作人员将提供关于吸引公众和科学宣传和政策的简短讲习班。利用在这次培训中学到的信息，学生参与者将在白天与霍尔顿游客互动，目的是吸引公众，并传播森林冠层研究中的生态生理学原理。最后，课程成果将通过四个媒体渠道在霍尔顿植物园传播：社交媒体，印刷，视频和现场解释材料。

This graduate student training workshop (Phys-Fest 2) is organized around group collection of plant ecophysiology data. Similar to the first workshop (Konza Prairie - 2016), a solid grounding in scientific research in ecophysiology will be achieved on-hands training, collegiality and interactive data collection. A key need exists for broad training in ecophysiology, as many graduate students have limited exposure to diverse ecophysiology equipment, techniques, and data interpretation. Phys-Fest 2 will fill this need through mentored research, close interaction with faculty instructors, and evening activities designed to teach effective science communication skills. Phys-Fest 2 will be hosted by the Holden Arboretum, a species-diverse, mature deciduous forest near Cleveland, OH. Holden Arboretum contains a suspended canopy walk and an emergent tower, both of which provide an 'in-canopy experience' to workshop participants. Scheduling this workshop at Holden provides a unique scientific opportunity, insight into non-academic careers for students, and opportunities for public engagement with day visitors at the arboretum. This workshop (Phys-Fest 2) will focus on plant ecophysiology and deviate from the typical conference format of short presentations and posters. Here, participants will collaborate using replicate pieces of equipment to measure leaf-level and whole-plant physiology in four broad categories: plant hydraulics, gas exchange, fluorescence, and thermal/hyperspectral imaging. Measurements will be taken at multiple canopy heights on replicated trees in conjunction with a distributed instrument array including NDVI, PRI, leaf wetness, canopy temperature, and microclimate sensors. This strategy will facilitate in-canopy physiological measurements, such as monitoring the response of forest tree canopies to diurnal variations. These measurements will demonstrate fundamental ecophysiological canopy processes, provide direct linkages to gradients in canopy microclimate, and will be useful for scaling processes at sub-canopy dynamics in deciduous forests. The organization of Phys-Fest 2 is specifically designed to promote networking and meaningful interactions among participants. Two types of training in science communication in the evenings of day 2 and 3 will be held. Holden Arboretum staff will provide short workshops on engaging public audiences and in science outreach and policy. Using the information learned during this training, student participants will interact with Holden visitors during the day with the goal of engaging a public audience, and disseminating ecophysiology principles in forest canopy research. Finally, course accomplishments will be disseminated through four media outlets at the Holden Arboretum: social media, print, video, and on-site interpretative materials.
