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

本次研究生培训工作坊（physical - fest 2）是围绕植物生态生理学数据的集体收集而组织的。与第一次研讨会（康扎草原- 2016）类似，生态生理学科学研究的坚实基础将实现现场培训，合作和互动数据收集。由于许多研究生接触各种生态生理学设备、技术和数据解释的机会有限，因此对生态生理学的广泛培训是一个关键需求。物理节2将通过指导研究、与教员教员的密切互动以及旨在教授有效科学交流技巧的晚间活动来满足这一需求。第2届物理节将由霍尔顿植物园主办，这是俄亥俄州克利夫兰附近的一个物种多样、成熟的落叶森林。霍尔顿植物园包含一个悬挂的树冠步行道和一个紧急塔楼，这两个都为研讨会参与者提供了“树冠内体验”。在霍尔顿安排这个研讨会为学生提供了一个独特的科学机会，深入了解非学术职业，并有机会与植物园的日间游客进行公众参与。本次研讨会（physfest 2）将以植物生态生理学为主题，与传统的简报和海报会议不同。在这里，参与者将合作使用复制设备来测量叶片水平和整个植物的生理，包括四大类：植物水力学、气体交换、荧光和热/高光谱成像。将在复制的树木的多个冠层高度进行测量，并结合分布式仪器阵列，包括NDVI， PRI，叶片湿度，冠层温度和小气候传感器。这一策略将促进冠层内生理测量，如监测森林树木冠层对日变化的响应。这些测量将展示林冠的基本生态生理过程，提供与林冠小气候梯度的直接联系，并将有助于研究落叶林冠下动态的尺度过程。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。在第2天和第3天的晚上将举行两种科学传播培训。霍尔顿植物园的工作人员将提供有关吸引公众、科学推广和政策的短期讲习班。利用在培训期间学到的信息，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种媒体传播：社交媒体、印刷品、视频和现场解释性材料。

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.
