Fourth International Symposium On Dynamics Of Physiological Processes In Roots Of Woody Plants

 

16^th to 20^th September 2007

What was the event?

Major objectives of the symposium were:

• Presentation of the latest advances in physiology and ecology of root systems of woody plants
• Better assessment of the impacts of environmental disturbance on root physiological processes and the effects on whole plant function
• Addressing the integrative nature of root system research through research collaboration between anatomists, ecologists, mycorrhizal researchers, tree physiologists, tree molecular biologists and rhizosphere microbiologists
• Identification of priorities for future research in belowground woody plant biology.
