ForestGEO hosts virtual seminar series

On the third Wednesday of every month, ForestGEO hosts a virtual Seminar Series which highlights ongoing research by scientists in the ForestGEO network. In November, Claire Fortunel and Stuart Davies gave presentations. Fortunel presented her lecture “Abiotic and biotic drivers of tree dynamics,” during which she discussed how tree-based research approaches can greatly improve mechanistic understanding of community dynamics, and provided specific examples of what abiotic and biotic factors influence tree dynamics. Davies presented his lecture “GEO-TREES: Building a biomass reference system for the world’s forests,” during which he gave an overview of the GEO-TREES mission and emphasized multi-network collaboration to aid in the development of such a global forest biomass reference system.
