Environment of Arid Ecosystems: Water distribution in Trees and Plants February 18, 2010
Come to this interesting lecture about the environment of arid ecosystems! Lecture will be given by Dr. Shabtai Cohen on Thursday, February 18th at 6:30pm in the John Dewey Lounge.
About the research:
Dr. Cohen's current research is about how water is distributed in trees and plants, this is the central component to understanding water allocation. He has worked on a number of projects and can give insight into many fields of research happening in Israel. His interests and past research include: Micro-meteorology around vegetation and soi, Canopy structure of agricultural plant, Radiation distribution in vegetation and in agricultural structures, Global dimming (contemporary reductions in global radiation, Environmental physiology of plants, including leaf resistance behavior and modeling, Sap flow measurement, Hydraulic architecture of plants and rootstock, Energy balance of plants, crops, and lake, and Evapo-transpiration modeling and irrigation management.
