Ecophysiology explores how organisms interact with their environment, focusing on the exchange of elements between organisms and their surroundings. By linking measurements at the cellular, leaf, or root level to processes occurring across entire canopies and ecosystems, ecophysiology provides a mechanistic understanding of how forests respond to changing conditions, such as climate change or management practices.
This course is structured around seven key themes: biometry, soil, nitrogen, water, climate, photosynthesis, and modeling. Each topic includes a combination of literature study, lectures, seminars or exercises, and at least one dedicated field day. Throughout the course, students will develop the ability to apply ecophysiological principles and techniques to issues related to forest growth. The principles are equally applicable to any type of forest ecosystem.
