Dear Participants,
Welcome to the IUFRO-SPDC Pre-Congress Training Workshop Blog on Forests and Water Interactions!
Modern social media tools such as this Blog allow us to start with our workshop activities even before we physically meet. The first round of interactions is about getting to know each other. Therefore I herewith cordially invite you to post a short statement including affiliation, country, your background and current focus of your professional work.

I’m currently working in the Laboratory of Applied Ecology (University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin) where I’m research assistant since 2007. I expect that this training partly deals with relation between water and plant phenology.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all in South Korea.
Glad to meet you once more, Michael Kleine!!!

Hello Everyone,
Though it is a little bit late visiting here, I feel good to know you all at first. Thanks to Pro.Kleine for offerring me the chance to introduce myself.
My name is Xiaoqing Wu ( from China). I did research on Plant molecular developmental biology when I was a Master’s student, then worked 1year in “Shandong Technology Transfer Center. Chinese Academy of Sciences” after graduation. In 2009, I luckily became a Ph.D. student of “Institute of Applied Ecology.Chinese Academy of Sciences.”, and as a new member of “Forest Ecology and Forestry Eco-engineering Research Center”, I get to know more about forest. Now, one of my research interests focuses on how to improve plant’s stress-tolerant quality (especially in saline soil) via Arbuscular Mycorrihzal Fungi.
I chose this workshop subject because I want to learn the knowlege about the relationship between forest and water, and I am looking forward to find new idea sparkle in between our conversation. Hope I could learn something from all of you.
See you soon in Seoul.
