Abstract
What inspired your interest in plant science?
From a young age, I enjoyed spending time in and around trees and forests. I always liked being in the three-dimensional space created by forests and looking up to see what all the individual tree canopies were doing, how they were organised, and how they differed from each other. I was lucky to have parents who appreciated hiking and camping and being in the outdoors. Growing up in Idaho, USA, we often visited the conifer forests of the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains. After completing an undergraduate degree in biology, I wanted to take the general background that I had learned and focus more on forest ecosystem science, which eventually led me to tree physiology. When I started to learn about the important role that forests play in the earth system, and how they contribute to the global carbon cycle, it cemented my desire to understand more about their functioning and how their behaviour could change in response to human activities.
期刊介绍：
New Phytologist is an international electronic journal published 24 times a year. It is owned by the New Phytologist Foundation, a non-profit-making charitable organization dedicated to promoting plant science. The journal publishes excellent, novel, rigorous, and timely research and scholarship in plant science and its applications. The articles cover topics in five sections: Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. These sections encompass intracellular processes, global environmental change, and encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal recognizes the use of techniques from molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches in plant science. Abstracting and Indexing Information for New Phytologist includes Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, Agroforestry Abstracts, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Botanical Pesticides, CAB Abstracts®, Environment Index, Global Health, and Plant Breeding Abstracts, and others.
