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.

这个研究生培训研讨会（Phys-Fest 2）是围绕植物生态生理学数据的小组收集而组织的。与第一届研讨会（Konza Prairie - 2016）类似，生态生理学科学研究的坚实基础将通过现场培训、合作和交互式数据收集来实现。由于许多研究生对各种生态生理学设备、技术和数据解释的接触有限，因此迫切需要进行生态生理学方面的广泛培训。 Phys-Fest 2 将通过指导研究、与教师的密切互动以及旨在教授有效科学沟通技能的晚间活动来满足这一需求。第二届 Phys-Fest 将由霍尔顿植物园 (Holden Arboretum) 主办，该植物园是俄亥俄州克利夫兰附近的一个物种多样化、成熟的落叶林。霍顿植物园包含一个悬挂的树冠步道和一座新兴塔，两者都为研讨会参与者提供了“树冠内体验”。在霍尔顿安排这次研讨会为学生提供了独特的科学机会、对非学术职业的深入了解，以及公众与植物园日间游客互动的机会。 本次研讨会（Phys-Fest 2）将重点关注植物生态生理学，并不同于简短演示和海报的典型会议形式。 在这里，参与者将使用复制设备进行合作，测量四大类的叶级和全植物生理学：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（包括 NDVI、PRI、叶湿度、树冠温度和微气候传感器）对复制树木的多个树冠高度进行测量。该策略将促进树冠内的生理测量，例如监测林树冠层对昼夜变化的响应。这些测量将展示基本的生态生理冠层过程，提供与冠层微气候梯度的直接联系，并将有助于落叶林亚冠层动态的缩放过程。 Phys-Fest 2 的组织是专门为促进参与者之间的交流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。霍顿植物园工作人员将举办有关吸引公众观众以及科学推广和政策的短期研讨会。利用在培训中学到的信息，学生参与者将在白天与霍顿访客互动，目的是吸引公众观众，并传播森林冠层研究中的生态生理学原理。最后，课程成果将通过霍顿植物园的四个媒体渠道传播：社交媒体、印刷品、视频和现场解释材料。
