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.

该研究生培训研讨会（Phys-Fest 2）是围绕植物生态生理学数据的组收集组织的。类似于第一个研讨会（Konza Prairie -2016），将在企业培训，合作和互动数据收集中实现生态生理学科学研究的扎实基础。对生态生理学的广泛培训的关键需要，因为许多研究生对各种生态生理设备，技术和数据解释的影响有限。 Phys-Fest 2将通过指导的研究，与教职员工的密切互动以及旨在教授有效的科学沟通技巧的晚间活动来满足这一需求。 Phys-Fest 2将由霍顿植物园（Holden Arboretum）托管，霍尔顿植物园（Holden Arboretum）是俄亥俄州克利夫兰附近的物种多样性，成熟的落叶林。霍尔顿植物园（Holden Arboretum）包含悬挂式顶篷步行和一个新兴的塔楼，这两者都为车间参与者提供了“室内体验”。安排霍顿的研讨会提供了独特的科学机会，对学生的非学术职业的洞察力以及与植物园的一日游客进行公众互动的机会。 该研讨会（物理2）将集中在植物生态生理学上，并偏离典型的会议形式的简短演示和海报。 在这里，参与者将使用重复的设备进行合作，以在四个类别中测量叶片水平和全植物生理学：植物液压，气体交换，荧光和热/高光谱成像。将在复制的树上的多个顶篷高度上进行测量，并结合包括NDVI，PRI，叶湿，顶篷温度和微气候传感器在内的分布式仪器阵列。该策略将有助于囊中生理测量，例如监测森林树檐篷对昼夜变化的反应。这些测量结果将证明基本的生态生理冠层过程，为冠层小气候的梯度提供直接联系，并且对于在落叶森林中的亚伪型动力学的缩放过程中非常有用。 Phys-Fest 2的组织是专门设计的，旨在促进参与者之间的网络和有意义的互动。在第2天和第3天的晚上，将在科学传播中进行两种类型的培训。 Holden Arboretum工作人员将提供有关吸引公众观众以及科学外展和政策的简短讲习班。利用在此培训期间学习的信息，学生参与者将在白天与霍尔顿访客互动，目的是吸引公众观众，并在森林树冠研究中传播生态生理学原理。最后，课程成就将通过Holden Arboretum的四个媒体进行传播：社交媒体，印刷，视频和现场解释性材料。
