A hands-on, field-based exploration of plant functional traits, along with experience in using plant-trait data for climate-change research & ecosystem ecology
The 6th international Plant Functional Traits Course will be held in #Aurland, #Norway this summer! Participants will collect and explore trait data in the field and use trait-based approaches within global change and ecosystem ecology. Apply to join us at bit.ly/PFTC6-Norway
From Iceland to the Andes - what a change of scenery! Greatly enjoyed strolling around #Cuzco & meeting everyone from @PFTCourses - looking forward to dive into the #traits matter from tomorrow!
#PFTC5
Out and about in stunning Cusco today for @PFTCourses#PFTC5 gauging local opinions on #ClimateChange with a very interested and engaging audience. #Peru
Check out the new Open Traits paper in Nature Ecology and Evolution. In this manuscript, we discuss the importance of #OpenScience practices for trait-based science, and outline ways to accelerate the synthesis of trait data across the tree of life. nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
Have you ever heard about the #traitwheel? It's a "method" to measure standardized #functionaltraits we use on our #PFTC courses. This is part of a presentation to explain the students each step, all the mistakes we made and what we learned and how we improved the process.
Life-changing opportunity for anyone working with plant functional traits! Exceptional researchers @bjenquist @VVandvik@SeanMichaletz @m_maciasfauria @audhalbritter will show you how it’s done! #PFTC5
The first pre-course lecture for the #PFTC5#trait course in Peru by @bjenquist has started! An introduction to trait based ecology. @VVandvik@BrianMaitner @DagmarEgelkraut @RagnhildGya @SeanMichaletz @m_maciasfauria @W_FarfanRios @SandraM_Duran
