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.

这次研究生培训工作坊(Phys-Fest 2)是围绕植物生态生理学数据的小组收集而组织的。与第一期讲习班(Konza Prairie-2016)类似，将实现亲身培训、协作和互动数据收集，为生态生理学的科学研究奠定坚实的基础。由于许多研究生对不同的生态生理学设备、技术和数据解释的接触有限，因此存在广泛的生态生理学培训的关键需求。PHYS-FEST 2将通过有指导的研究、与教员教师的密切互动以及旨在教授有效科学交流技能的晚间活动来满足这一需求。PHYS-FEST 2将由霍尔顿植物园主办，霍尔登植物园是俄亥俄州克利夫兰附近的一个物种多样化的成熟落叶林。霍尔登植物园包括一条悬挂的树冠步道和一座紧急塔楼，这两个设施都为研讨会参与者提供了一种“树冠内的体验”。在霍尔登安排这个研讨会提供了一个独特的科学机会，为学生提供了对非学术职业的洞察，并提供了在植物园与白天的参观者进行公共接触的机会。本次研讨会(PHOHS-FEST 2)将聚焦于植物生态生理学，并与典型的简短演讲和海报的会议形式不同。在这里，参与者将使用复制的设备进行协作，在四个大类中测量叶片水平和整个植物的生理：植物水力学、气体交换、荧光和热/高光谱成像。将结合分布式仪器阵列在重复树木的多个树冠高度进行测量，包括NDVI、PRI、树叶湿度、树冠温度和小气候传感器。这一战略将有助于冠层内的生理测量，例如监测林木树冠对日变化的反应。这些测量将展示基本的生态生理树冠过程，提供与树冠小气候梯度的直接联系，并将有助于衡量落叶林亚树冠动态的过程。物理节2的组织是专门为促进参与者之间的网络和有意义的互动而设计的。第二天和第三天晚上将举行两种类型的科学传播培训。霍尔登植物园的工作人员将提供有关吸引公众以及科学推广和政策的简短研讨会。利用在这次培训中学到的信息，学生参与者将在白天与Holden访客互动，目的是吸引公众，并在森林树冠研究中传播生态生理学原理。最后，课程成果将通过霍尔登植物园的四个媒体渠道传播：社交媒体、平面媒体、视频和现场讲解材料。
