Please BOOST : There is still time (until next Wednesday 18 June) for any interested master student to apply for the doctoral thesis in #Forest #Ecophysiology on the subject of "Defining functional strategies at the whole-plant level by integrating traits related to carbon acquisition and water use in seedlings of Fagaceae" that we offer here in Nancy.
More explicitely, this thesis is about #drought responses of #tree seedlings, considering all organs and many #FunctionalTraits , but somewhat focused on #CarbonAllocation, #WaterUseEfficiency and #PlantHydraulics .
The thesis takes place close to Nancy, East of France, in the #INRAe campus which is at the edge of a very nice forest. The student will work in our very active tree ecophysiology group (PHARE) of the Silva unit. More information can be found on the Silva website :
https://eng-silva.nancy.hub.inrae.fr/offer-position/post-doc-phd/thesis-grant-functional-strategies

Please see also the webpage of the #SIReNa doctoral school of the #UniversityofLorraine :

And don't hesitate to BOOST and share in your networks. Thanks !

Maria Milanović et al. (2025) Successful alien plant species exhibit functional dissimilarity from natives under varied climatic conditions but not under increased nutrient availability. Journal of Vegetation Science 36: e70032. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvs.70032

Alien and native species increasing in their abundance did not differ in their leaf traits. We found significantly lower specific leaf area (SLA) with an increase in mean annual temperature and lower leaf Potassium with mean annual precipitation. For trait–environment relationships, when compared to native species, successful aliens exhibited an increase in leaf Phosphorus and a decrease in leaf Potassium with an increase in mean annual precipitation. Finally, aliens' SLA decreased in plots with higher mean annual temperatures.

If you are interested in mutualism and warming, this is a plug for collaborative project led by Austin Cruz along with G. Davidowitz & J. Bronstein, synthesizing thermal physiology and the biology of mutualisms in "Mutualisms in a warming world":
