8th International Symposium on Physiological Processes in Roots of Woody Plants

The 8th International Symposium on Physiological Processes in Roots of Woody Plants will be held in-person on July 10-14, 2022 at Penn State University in State College, PA. The oral and poster abstract submission deadlines are May 31, 2022! 

There will be six sessions:

• Session 1: Modifying and Managing Root Systems in Agricultural Crops with Global Change
• Session 2: Scaling Root Processes: Root Functional Traits
• Session 3: Root-signaling and Microbial Interactions
• Session 4: Roots in the Critical Zone: Resource Acquisition and Release in a Changing Environment
• Session 5: Managing Root Systems in Impaired Environments
• Session 6: Plant Carbon Expenditure Belowground

In particular, Session 4: Roots in the Critical Zone: Resource Acquisition and Release in a Changing Environment should be of interest to a number of CZEN researchers. Sharon Billings is the keynote.  The title of her talk is: “Roots in the Anthropocene's Critical Zone: Altered Depths, Nutrient Acquisition, Carbon Transformations, and Influences on Soil Structure.”
